Groceries for Verdonia whose family relied on SNAP benefits

Verdonia, 10 years old, NM

Wish submitted by:

Children, Youth and Families Department

Verdonia is currently in foster care. She is a bright young girl who enjoys school and loves watching movies, TV shows, and YouTube videos, as well as engaging with anything electronic. Verdonia is open to trying new things and enjoys being active. In her downtime, she enjoys listening to music to relax. She also has a fondness for girly things, such as nail polish, dresses, and makeup.

Verdonia has been in foster care for a long time, and her current foster family relies on SNAP benefits to provide food for her. However, with the recent government shutdown, they have faced challenges in purchasing healthy food options for Verdonia. A grocery gift card would greatly help them in ensuring that she gets the nutrition she needs during this difficult time.
