Aniyah’s journey is one of perseverance and hope. Growing up in the foster care system taught her to be strong in the face of adversity. She is thriving at Howard University, where she is pursuing her dreams and setting an example for others. Aniyah’s passion for education and her determination to succeed shine through in everything she does.

Aniya will be staying on campus during Christmas break, relying on limited dining options and a dwindling meal card balance. Access to groceries is crucial for her to maintain regular meals and a sense of stability while campus services slow down. A gift card to one of two very local grocery stores would enable her to purchase essential food items, alleviating financial stress and ensuring she has consistent access to meals, ultimately helping her feel supported during the holiday period.
