Wish submitted by:

Felicia is a well-rounded teenager dedicated to achieving academic excellence. She looks forward to attending a prestigious out-of-state university, where she plans to focus on her personal growth and put her family challenges behind her. As a loving older sibling, she has occasionally taken on parental responsibilities for her siblings when her mother was unable to do so. Over the past year, Felicia has demonstrated remarkable strength.

Felicia and her family are currently experiencing homelessness, moving between motels and shelters. Despite these difficulties, Felicia is determined to help her family by working two jobs. In two months, she can focus on her goals and college education, and she’s excited about the possibilities ahead—making new friends, living independently, and growing into the person she wants to be. However, her unstable living situation has caused her to lose many of her belongings, and she hasn’t been able to save enough money for the essential items needed for college. A gift card will help her purchase essential items for college, which will make a significant impact on her transition to this new chapter in her life.
