Raven, 20 years old, NM
Wish submitted by:
Children, Youth and Families DepartmentRaven spent many years in foster care before aging out, but she continues to receive support from the state. Despite facing some health challenges, she refuses to let anything stand in the way of her dreams. Accompanied by her dedicated service dog, Raven navigates life with strength and determination. As a first-generation college student and a proud member of the Osage Tribe, she is carving out her own path and inspiring others along the way.
Although Raven is no longer in foster care, she continues to receive services from a state program. Recently, she discovered that she is pregnant and was about to start receiving WIC benefits, in addition to her SNAP benefits. However, due to a government pause, she may not receive these benefits in time. As a result, Raven is requesting a grocery gift card for November to help her purchase healthy foods for herself and her baby.
