Wish submitted by:

Cassie has always had a deep love for animals, a passion that has shaped her career path and personal life. Currently working as a vet tech, she finds immense joy in helping pets heal and thrive. Before taking on this role, Cassie spent time at a doggy daycare, where she nurtured her skills and strengthened her bond with animals. Her dream is to become a veterinarian, a goal fueled by her desire to make a positive impact on the lives of both pets and their owners. Growing up in foster care, Cassie often turned to animals for comfort and solace. They were her companions, providing unconditional love and support during challenging times. Pets never judged her or required her to share her story; their simple presence brought her a sense of safety and warmth. This experience instilled in her a profound understanding of the healing power of animals, motivating her to dedicate her life to caring for them and ensuring that others can experience the same joy and comfort she found.

Cassie is requesting a Target gift card to help her cover the essentials for Thanksgiving. She plans to purchase key food items for the holiday meal, like pantry staples, sides, and baking ingredients, as well as paper dinnerware (plates, cups, napkins, cutlery, and disposable pans) to make cleanup quick and stress-free. This support will ease the financial pressure of hosting, allow her to prepare a warm, welcoming table, and give her more time to enjoy the day with loved ones. A gift card would make a meaningful difference, helping Cassie focus on sharing gratitude rather than worrying about the cost of groceries and supplies.
