Estefany, 11 years old, KS

Wish submitted by:

Estefany was nominated for Student of the Quarter because she is a kind and loving person. She is a great friend to everyone and speaks warmly about her family, particularly her older brother and baby sister. Estefany is polite and isn’t hesitant to ask for help when she needs it, usually for items like school supplies or personal belongings. This is the first time her family has sought assistance from the school. Her dad works while her mom takes care of the baby. Estefany enjoys drawing, reading, and caring for animals. She never says anything mean about anyone and is appreciated by both students and staff.

With SNAP assistance ending, Estefany's family knows they will struggle to make ends meet while trying to budget for food and baby formula using only Dad's paycheck. Addressing this challenge directly will strengthen the relationship between the school and the family, promoting better learning and an overall sense of well-being.
