Toni, 30 years old, CA | NEEDED BY 12/02

Wish submitted by:

Toni has shown incredible strength and determination while navigating her transition out of foster care. With limited support and only occasional help, Toni had to figure out housing, school, and stability primarily on her own. Despite these challenges, Toni has continued to move forward with purpose. She is both working and going to school, studying to become a registered nurse. She also hopes to pursue phlebotomy and, one day, return to school to fulfill her childhood dream of becoming a pediatrician. She loves her son, who has passions for Roblox and sports, including basketball, football, and soccer. Toni has recently moved into an apartment, the first home she can call her own.

With rising costs of food and basic necessities, Toni has been struggling to afford groceries while keeping up with rent, school, childcare needs, and transportation. Help with groceries would provide immediate and meaningful relief for Toni and her son. It would allow her to purchase healthy foods, prepare meals at home, and ease some of the financial pressure she has been carrying alone. For Toni, this gift would mean more than just groceries; it would give her hope, encouragement, and a reminder that she is not alone as she continues her journey toward independence and success.
