Jessica, 19 years old, NJ | NEEDED BY 11/15

Wish submitted by:

Jessica entered foster care at a young age, and sadly, she and her siblings were split up during that time. Her grandmother tirelessly worked to reunite the children, showing immense dedication and love. Now, Jessica is a determined individual studying to become a social worker, with a focus on helping children in foster care. To stay positive, she expresses herself through singing and writing poetry. In addition to her creative pursuits, Jessica has also developed skills in sewing and knitting, channeling her energy into hobbies that bring her joy.

Jessica is a responsible individual who strives for independence every day. However, her monthly food assistance was halted during the recent government shutdown, leaving her to struggle with budgeting her bills and providing food for herself and her siblings, particularly on the weekends. Granting this wish for a grocery gift card would greatly alleviate some of the stress she is currently facing during this challenging time.
