Anika, 22 years old, NM |

Wish submitted by:

Anika is a hardworking, dedicated, and family-oriented individual who is committed to her education. She is currently finishing her high school diploma while working part-time. In addition to her studies and job, Anika is the primary caregiver for her two nephews, and she is determined to keep them out of the foster care system, ensuring they remain close as a family. Although she loves her job and school, she is struggling to balance all her responsibilities. Her family is receiving support from NM CYFD.

Anika has been caring for her nephews since her brother suddenly passed away. She has found them an apartment to live in together and hopes to create a warm, welcoming home for the holidays. Anika is seeking help with setting up a Christmas tree so she can start making memories this season and celebrate a year of coming together.
