Yessenia is an awesome young lady who is versatile, kind, and full of determination. She is an avid sports fan who enjoys playing flag football and has recently discovered a passion for softball. Despite the unfortunate circumstances that brought her to the attention of the Department, Yessenia remains pleasant, sweet, and consistently strives to stay positive. She works hard to cope with challenges beyond her control and is committed to being the best version of herself. Yessenia holds herself to high expectations, and everyone who meets her can see her strength, resilience, and potential to thrive.

This gift would support Yessenia by helping meet basic and personal needs that contribute to her sense of normalcy, confidence, and stability. Access to clothing, school supplies, and personal items allows Yessenia to feel prepared, comfortable, and supported as she continues to engage in school and extracurricular activities. This support helps reduce stress, reinforces self-esteem, and promotes her emotional well-being during challenging times.
