Wish submitted by:

Mia has shown incredible resilience throughout her foster care journey. Despite facing many challenges, she continues to pursue her dreams with determination and grace. Mia is currently in school for nursing, driven by her desire to help others and make a positive impact in her community. She is hardworking, compassionate, and known for her warm smile that brightens any room. In her free time, Mia enjoys listening to music, journaling, and spending time with friends who inspire her to keep moving forward. Her strength, kindness, and dedication make her a shining example of hope and perseverance.

Mia recently moved into her first apartment, marking an exciting new chapter in her journey toward independence. While she’s proud of how far she’s come, adjusting to living on her own has been challenging, especially when it comes to affording groceries. As a nursing student working hard to balance school and responsibilities, Mia often struggles to keep her kitchen stocked with healthy food. This wish would help ease that burden and allow her to focus on her studies without worrying about her next meal. Meeting this need would give Mia stability, comfort, and the nourishment she needs to keep chasing her dreams.
