Jennifer, 30 years old | NEEDED BY 05/30

Wish submitted by:

Jennifer is a passionate youth advocate committed to ending homelessness and creating brighter futures for young people. She is currently navigating a challenging period as she seeks a safe place to live while balancing daily life and grieving the loss of a family member. Despite these hardships, she remains dedicated to her mission of bringing about change. Jennifer finds solace in the outdoors, enjoying walks, spending time with her young nephew, and volunteering to support her community. Her resilience and commitment shine through as she strives to provide stability for her family while pursuing her dreams. Her ultimate goal is to establish a mentoring program for former foster youth, offering guidance, resources, and encouragement to those facing similar challenges. She envisions a future where homelessness is eradicated and where there is equitable access to housing, mental health support, and essential resources for youth and young adults in her community.

After losing nearly everything in the recent fires, Jennifer is trying to regain a sense of normalcy and dignity. As a former foster youth, she has already overcome unimaginable challenges, and this loss has left her feeling devastated and without the essentials, including clothing. A Shein gift card would allow Jennifer to choose clothing that makes her feel comfortable, confident, and like herself again. Granting this wish can help her take a powerful step forward in her healing journey.
