Groceries for Zakiya who is struggling without SNAP benefits
Zakiya, 21 years old, DC
Wish submitted by:
Family and Medical Counseling ServicesZakiya is currently in college to become a veterinarian. She has a deep love for animals. She has made the Dean's list 2 times and this is her 2nd year in school. Her goal is to keep her grade point average up so that she has a shot at becoming a Valedictorian for her senior class.
Zakiya lives off campus and relies entirely on her SNAP benefits to provide her with nutritious meals while she pursues her education. As a part-time worker, her earnings primarily cover her rent and utilities, leaving her with barely enough for groceries. Without her food benefits, it would be a struggle for her to maintain a balanced diet. Balancing work, school, and her limited budget makes it essential for her to make every meal count.
