Shelly, 25 years old, UT | NEEDED BY 04/18

Wish submitted by:

Shelly is a mother of two living in a rural area of Utah. She spent eight years in foster care before aging out of the system. Shelly has a toddler and recently welcomed her second baby, who was born with a disability. In her free time, she loves spending time with children, caring for horses, and cooking.

Shelly's newborn baby is facing some health complications, which have prevented her from starting work. Additionally, her partner has had to miss work to attend doctor’s appointments that often require both of their presence. They are navigating their baby’s health issues along with the associated bills and medical visits. Shelly would greatly appreciate temporary support for gas money to help them get to these important appointments. Residing in a rural area of Utah, she needs to travel to Salt Lake City for specialized care for her newborn.
