Leigh-anna, 26 years old, NY

Wish submitted by:

Leigh-Anna entered foster care as a teenager and experienced multiple placements until she found a family friend who became her supportive foster parent. After graduating high school, she faced homelessness due to limited support from children's services. Determined to build an independent life, she is passionate about advocating for youth aging out of foster care and migrant families,

Leigh-anna works full-time, but most of her money goes to her medical and living costs. She’s taken an unpaid summer internship and needs help buying professional clothes. This support would ensure she has the appropriate attire to feel comfortable and confident while working. This wish has been split up so that Leigh-anna can get a few nice outfits. This is wish 1 of 2.
