Amanda, 17 years old, NJ

Wish submitted by:

Amanda is a shy, soft-spoken girl with a mild-mannered personality. She has faced many challenges in her life, including a lack of stability in her housing situation and ongoing health issues. As a result, her academic progress has been hindered since a very young age. Despite these obstacles, Amanda maintains a positive outlook and remains hopeful for a brighter future. Amanda has a significant history with the Division of Child Protection and Permanency (DCP&P) and has experienced multiple out-of-home placements. Recently, she and her two sisters were reunited after the loss of their mother last year.

Amanda is trying to secure her first job and urgently needs appropriate attire to make a strong first impression during her job applications and interviews. She has been actively applying for jobs online and is eager to earn money for financial independence. A gift card to Old Navy would enable her to purchase professional clothing that will help set her up for success!
