Jessie, 21 years old, OR

Wish submitted by:

Jessie aged out of the foster care system, shaped by years of uncertainty. He found stability in math, which made sense when everything else didn't. This connection led him to pursue a college degree to become a math teacher. Now thriving as a college student, Jessie is driven by his passion for the subject and a desire to support students facing challenges like his own. He aims to inspire them and demonstrate that their past doesn’t have to define their future.

Jessie is asking for a Target gift card to help purchase groceries. With this support, he’ll be able to pick up the food items he needs most, whether it’s fresh produce, pantry staples, or other essentials to keep his household running smoothly. Having the flexibility of a gift card will also help Jessie to shop for what works best for him and his family, making sure their needs are met with dignity and care. This request is split into two parts. This is wish 1 of 2.
