Wish submitted by:

Nancy's life has been a journey of strength and determination. She entered foster care at 14 after facing abuse at home and had a tough time, including a period in juvenile hall for running away. Even with these challenges, Nancy always worked hard for a better life. As an adult, she faced more struggles, like losing custody of her two children for a while. But she fought hard to get them back and left an abusive relationship to create a safer future for her family. Nancy's biggest goal is to build a loving and stable home for her kids. She wants to break the cycle of pain she experienced growing up and give her children the opportunities she missed. What sets Nancy apart is her bravery, resilience, and the deep love she has for her kids. She's passionate about growing as a person and helps other parents facing tough times. In her spare time, she loves journaling, reading self-help books, and doing creative activities with her children.

Nancy is currently having difficulty supporting herself and her children. She relies on CalFresh benefits, but they have been delayed, leaving her unsure when she will receive them. She is seeking assistance to purchase groceries to ensure her family has enough food during this challenging time.
