Lauryn, 20 years old, TX

Wish submitted by:

Lauryn is a grounded young woman who finds strength in her faith and joy in her relationships with her siblings. Though she may come off as shy at first, those who get to know her quickly see her warmth, strength, and uplifting spirit. She’s been through a lot in life, including time in foster care, but continues to push forward with grace and intention. Lauryn is the kind of person who encourages others even while carrying her own challenges, and she’s always working to grow emotionally, spiritually, and in her purpose.

Lauryn is hoping for a Target gift card to help cover essential items like clothing, hygiene products, and hair care products, which she currently struggles to afford. After growing up in foster care and facing ongoing housing instability, she’s now staying with a friend in a temporary living situation while working hard to secure stable housing. A gift card would ease some of the financial pressure and help her feel more confident and cared for as she continues pushing forward. A little support right now would go a long way in helping Lauryn meet her basic needs with dignity. This request has been split into two wishes to allow for a successful shopping trip. This is wish 1 of 2.
