Wish submitted by:

Rolando entered foster care at the age of 13 and has grown into a thoughtful and resilient young adult. He enjoys gardening, finding peace and purpose in nurturing plants and watching them thrive—an interest that reflects his own journey of growth. Rolando is known for his calm presence, strong sense of empathy, and ability to connect deeply with others. His quiet strength and dedication to personal growth make him a truly special individual with a bright future ahead.

Rolando is seeking assistance with purchasing groceries. Due to the ongoing government shutdown, he currently does not have access to his CalFresh benefits. Despite his best efforts to remain self-sufficient, including maintaining a small garden to supplement his food supply, he is struggling to afford essential food items. Rolando is looking for short-term support to meet his immediate nutritional needs until his benefits are reinstated.
