Melissandra, 24 years old, NY

Wish submitted by:

Melissandra is a young woman beginning to take on many adult responsibilities as she ages out of foster care, including getting her first full-time job. She aspires to become a famous musician one day and loves going to live music events and discovering new artists!

Melissandra currently lives independently and relies on SNAP benefits to cover her monthly grocery expenses. However, during the recent shutdowns, she has faced delays and reductions in these benefits. As a result, Melissandra needs support to ensure she can purchase enough food for herself.
