NJ DCFS - Ocean County

Gina is a remarkably resilient young woman who has faced an extraordinary amount of hardship at a young age. After the tragic loss of her mother and baby sister, as well as her father's incarceration, she has demonstrated immense strength and determination in moving forward. Gina is a dedicated worker who has recently settled into her own apartment, accompanied by her new puppy, Nova. With a passion for fashion and makeup, she enjoys treating herself to manicures and hairstyling.

Having recently moved into her first apartment, Gina is excitedly taking her time to decorate it in line with her long-held vision. As a high school student balancing her academics with the demands of independent living, she faces the financial challenges that come with this significant transition. One of Gina's dreams is to have a vanity desk and mirror, which she believes would help her feel her best each morning as she prepares for her new school. Unfortunately, her current budget doesn’t allow for this purchase. Let's come together to support Gina in achieving her goal and turning her dream into a reality.
