Sheyli, 8 years old, IN |

Wish submitted by:

Sheyli and her family relocated from South America. Although she arrived knowing no English, she has shown remarkable resilience and determination in adjusting to a new country, culture, and learning environment. Her progress has been truly inspiring. Sheyli is a bright, joyful student who loves dancing, creating TikTok videos, and playing with her friends. She also adores Barbies and often brings her vibrant imagination into the classroom. Her warm personality and infectious smile can brighten anyone’s day.

Recently, Sheyli’s mother was detained, leaving her father as the sole caregiver for Sheyli and her sister. Her mother had been contributing significantly to the family’s financial stability, and her absence has created a substantial hardship during an already challenging time—especially with the rising cost of food. Because the family does not qualify for SNAP benefits, meeting their basic nutritional needs has become increasingly difficult. Providing support with groceries would offer meaningful relief, allowing Sheyli’s father to redirect limited funds toward other essential expenses. This will be able to help ensure the family maintains stability and meet their most urgent needs as they navigate this difficult transition.
