Shanique, 27 years old, NY | NEEDED BY 08/29

Wish submitted by:

Shanique is an incredibly bright and passionate young woman. She is the warmest, most thoughtful person you could meet. She is a single mother to 3 children whom she loves more than anything. She loves taking them to amusement parks and watching them explore the world. Despite being overwhelmed by all her responsibilities and having little time to relax, you would be lucky to cross paths with her and feel just how incredible her energy and light are.

Shanique is a single mother of three young boys who faces constant challenges but manages to handle them with grace. Recently, her family’s food stamps were unexpectedly cut off without any explanation, which, unfortunately, is not uncommon in New York City. Despite her efforts to reach out for help through calls and messages, she hasn’t received any assistance. The next step for her is to visit the office in person, which she plans to do as soon as she can. It will likely take at least a month to resolve the issues, and without any other income, she urgently needs support to feed herself and her children during this difficult time. This request has been split into two wishes to allow Shanique to shop for what she needs to take care of herself and her family this month. This is wish 1 of 2.
