April, 22 years old, TX

Wish submitted by:

April is a bubbly, talkative, and funny young woman who has aged out of foster care. She is living independently while working her way through cosmetology school. April is a caring person; she is sensitive and feels emotions deeply, but prefers not to dwell on negativity for too long. In her free time, she enjoys painting, drawing, and listening to music, especially R&B. She also loves spending time with friends and family, going hiking, and connecting with nature.

April has been diligently working to finance her education in cosmetology. However, she has faced several financial challenges that have forced her to take a leave of absence from school. During this time, she is focusing on catching up on her rent, utilities, and meeting her basic needs. Additionally, April is concerned about the reductions to SNAP benefits that will take effect in November, as these changes may affect her access to food while she rebuilds her savings.
