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

Wish submitted by:

Mia is an independent young woman in foster care who wants to become a Patient Care Technician. She is dedicated to her studies and committed to building a future where she can provide compassionate care to others. Despite experiencing traumatic events in her past, she views those challenges as the foundation of her strength, shaping her into the resilient and determined person she is today.

Mia would greatly benefit from receiving groceries because, as a Patient Care Technician (PCT) student and intern, she has a demanding schedule that requires her to balance her studies with hands-on training. Her internship involves long hours, which leaves her with little time or income to consistently afford healthy meals. Receiving groceries would help alleviate her financial strain, ensure she has nutritious food to stay energized during her shifts, and allow her to focus on successfully completing her program.
