Jare, 14 years old, NJ

Wish submitted by:

Jare is a calm and resilient young person, truly a warrior as she gradually overcomes the challenges associated with autism. She has faced bullying and continues to struggle with learning and social interactions. Despite these difficulties, she finds joy in coloring and playing with her siblings, whose love and affection provide her with strength and happiness.

Jare enjoys helping with cooking at home, especially during the colder days. Although she faces some challenges with communication and daily routines, participating in meal preparation brings her joy and a sense of inclusion. With the upcoming pause in the family's SNAP benefits, preparing nutritious meals will become increasingly difficult. Access to groceries would provide meaningful support to Jare and her family, helping them stay nourished and connected during this challenging time.
