Stormi, 16 years old, VA | NEEDED BY 02/02

Wish submitted by:

Stormi spent some time in a group home and has made lots of progress over the years. She also spent several years helping her dad raise her siblings while their mom was in jail. She loves to express herself through art, including dance. Stormi is resilient, kind, and thoughtful.

Stormi is an amazing young lady who is a wonderful big sister to her younger siblings. Her family, which consists of her dad and her siblings, is desperately in need of food. Stormi's dad is a young single father who was recently terminated from his job due to personal matters beyond his control, which caused him to miss a few days at work and ultimately led to his immediate termination. With their mother incarcerated, Stormi has taken on the role of caregiver, cooking large meals for her and her younger siblings. Her dad is actively seeking assistance from their local food stamps office but was informed it may take up to 30 days to receive a response. Stormi is accustomed to preparing meals that can feed the whole family, but their food supply is running low. She is trying to remain positive and has reached out for help to keep their family routine intact and ensure they have enough to eat. Currently, Stormi would like to prepare meals for dinner that can stretch until they hear back from the food stamps office. Dishes like spaghetti and meatballs, baked chicken and potatoes, and chicken Alfredo are what she hopes to make, requiring all the necessary ingredients. Granting this wish would mean everything to this family during such a difficult time.
