Christina, 24 years old, NY

Wish submitted by:

Christina entered foster care at the age of 3 and eventually aged out of the system. She is now an advocate for change in the child welfare system. Currently, she lives in her own apartment, is enrolled in college studying Business Administration, and is certified as a software engineer. Christina is resilient, hardworking, and always seeking opportunities for personal growth.

Christina is facing potential food insecurity this November due to recent cuts to SNAP benefits, which means she will not be receiving food stamps this month. To help her manage, a grocery gift card would provide the necessary support for her to purchase groceries.
