Wish submitted by:

Jenessa is an outgoing young woman who enjoys spending time with her friends and family. She graduated from high school and aspires to become a professional photographer. Jenessa is currently discussing with her support team how she can start her own photography business. She has a passion for capturing the beauty of nature, but has recently stepped out of her comfort zone by taking pictures at weddings and special events. She found great joy in photographing people during these occasions. She is being supported by San Diego Youth Services.

Jenessa is doing everything she can to care for her newborn son while also taking care of her own mental health. She is currently budgeting carefully to make sure she can continue providing the essentials that support both her and her baby. Assistance with groceries would provide meaningful support during this time—helping Jenessa purchase the foods that keep her healthy, energized, and able to provide for her baby without added financial stress. For Jenessa, this assistance would offer more than groceries; it would give her peace of mind. With one less worry on her plate, she can continue focusing on her healing, her baby, and this new chapter of motherhood with confidence and stability.
