Groceries for Veronica during the government shutdown

Veronica, 10 years old, NM

Wish submitted by:

Children, Youth and Families Department

Veronica is a thoughtful girl in foster care who has faced many challenges. She's a twin and loves sharing her placement with her siblings, but she also enjoys showing her own unique personality. Veronica is observant and serious, which makes her quite different from her twin! She loves being outdoors, whether it's at playgrounds, on walks, playing in water, or swimming. She also enjoys shopping, going to the movies, attending school, and spending time with her friends.

Veronica has been in foster care for several months, and her current foster family relies on SNAP benefits to support her. However, these benefits have been halted during the shutdown, leaving them in a challenging situation. To ensure that Veronica has access to healthy snacks and food she enjoys, a grocery gift card would be incredibly helpful for her caregivers. This would allow them to provide Veronica with the nutrition she needs during this difficult time.
