Sadie, 18 years old, NJ

Wish submitted by:

Sadie is a bright and ambitious young woman. She and her younger sister are living in an out-of-home placement with relatives due to challenges in their family environment. Despite these circumstances, Sadie has remained focused on her education and future. She is majoring in political science and dreams of becoming a lawyer, driven by a strong sense of justice and a desire to advocate for others who face adversity. Sadie is attending college with the support of financial aid, including grants and student loans, and she is determined to make the most of every opportunity. Her resilience, academic dedication, and long-term goals reflect her strength and potential.

Sadie’s family relies on SNAP benefits to help meet their nutritional needs, but with the current government shutdown, they are facing increased worries about food security for November. This wish aims to provide vital support by enabling the family to purchase groceries, household essentials, and personal care items that SNAP may not cover. By alleviating financial stress during the holiday season, this assistance would ensure their nutritional needs are met and bring peace of mind to Sadie and her family. With this added support, Sadie can stay focused on her studies and maintain her well-being.
