Aurora, 28 years old, NY

Wish submitted by:

Aurora is a fun-loving young woman and a dedicated mother to her adorable son. She has worked hard to build a better life for both of them, and after overcoming many obstacles, she has finally realized that dream. In her spare time, she enjoys caring for her son and spending time with friends.

Aurora depends on food stamps to provide meals for herself and her son. She is currently working two part-time jobs, but her combined income barely covers the high living expenses in New York City. Due to the ongoing government shutdown, Aurora is uncertain about how she will buy food if food stamps are not distributed in November.
