Lutavion, 8 years old, VA

Wish submitted by:

Lutavion is a middle child who recently entered foster care after being removed from a relative's custody due to neglect and abuse. Despite the challenges he faces, he has a great sense of humor and an amazing smile that lights up the room. As he navigates this unfamiliar territory, he is working hard to adjust to the sudden changes in his life.

Lutavion is in a household that will be deeply impacted by the loss of SNAP benefits and loss of wages. This household depends on SNAP benefits to help provide for the 5 children. Without this essential support, they will struggle to afford necessities such as food and housing. The loss of income and assistance will make it increasingly challenging to ensure the children's well-being and stability.
