Kyra, 27 years old, NY

Wish submitted by:

Kyra is a caring and determined young woman. She spent most of her teenage years in foster care before being placed with her grandmother. When her grandmother’s dementia progressed, Kyra was forced to move out and has spent years homeless, often couch-surfing with friends.

Kyra has recently secured stable housing after spending years couch surfing and sleeping in her car. She is adjusting well to her new situation and is actively searching for employment. However, she relies on SNAP benefits, and the impending government shutdown puts her at risk of food insecurity. Receiving support during this critical time would significantly ease Kyra's burden as she continues to settle into her new home and pursue her goals for the future.
