Cara, 31 years old, SC

Wish submitted by:

Cara is a resilient young woman who aged out of foster care at 18. Despite experiencing homelessness, she has fought for custody of her brother and is currently working as a waitress while studying to become a registered nurse. After the tragic loss of her sister in a car accident last year, Cara dreams of starting a program in South Carolina to support foster youth. An artist and aspiring author, she is writing a book about her journey to achieve her goals and give back to others.

Cara depends on assistance to obtain the groceries she needs, and she is concerned about the hold on her SNAP benefits. A Publix gift card would provide her with immediate relief, allowing her to access the food necessary for her health and nourishment. This simple gift would alleviate a significant burden and offer Cara the support she deserves as she continues to work toward stability and hope for the future.
