Groceries for Matthew who needs a little help with essentials this month

Matthew, 19 years old, NM

Wish submitted by:

Children, Youth and Families Department

Matthew has aged out of foster care and is looking ahead with optimism. Currently working and set to begin college soon, he’s excited about this new chapter in his life, eager to create a better future for himself. In his free time, Matthew enjoys playing video games, but he also has a big heart. He’s always ready to lend a hand to others in need and actively volunteers to help his community. His journey is one of resilience and hope, and Matthew is determined to make a positive impact both for himself and those around him.

Matthew relies on SNAP benefits to access healthy food options. As a full-time student who also works part-time, he is eager to incorporate more nutritious items into his diet. He could use a little help with essentials this month. To make this easier, he has requested a gift card, which would allow him the flexibility to choose the foods he likes best. This is wish 1 of 2.
