Payton, 22 years old, NY

Wish submitted by:

Payton is an intelligent, hardworking, and kind young woman. She spent her teenage years in foster care and was pursuing college when she lost access to safe and stable housing. Although she has been working full-time for over a year, she has remained unhoused. Payton continues to save and work toward lasting stability.

Payton works diligently as a hostess, but she is currently unhoused. She relies on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) to meet her basic nutritional needs. However, due to the government shutdown, she is now facing food insecurity. This support will help alleviate the burden of food insecurity during these already challenging times.
