Jazmin, 23 years old, NM | 1 DAY WAITING | NEEDED BY 11/26

Wish submitted by:

Children, Youth and Families Department

Jazmin grew up in the foster care system and did not want to be adopted, so she aged out of the system. Since then, she has faced many challenges in finding her way. Jazmin has had to navigate the difficult situation of having her own children in the same system she experienced as a child. Determined to change her circumstances, she is committed to ensuring that her children do not go through what she endured. Jazmin loves her children very much and would do almost anything for their well-being. She has also expressed interest in attending college.

Jazmin recently had her third child but is currently unable to work. She relies on SNAP and WIC benefits to provide for herself and her children. With very limited support, Jazmin has learned to stretch the resources she receives. However, due to recent government issues, she has been unable to obtain enough food for her family.
