Mecca, 25 years old, GA

Wish submitted by:

Mecca is an amazing young entrepreneur who has been in foster care for most of her childhood. Her positive attitude and drive have helped her get through the foster care system, but she is extremely nervous about transitioning completely into adulthood. She is struggling as she is now transiting out, and she feels she doesn't have all the tools or support as she is getting ready to transition out of the foster care system. She working really hard to create a better life for herself and to be an example to other young people in care.

Mecca is feeling anxious about the upcoming inclement weather and its potential impact on her transportation and food supply. She typically prefers to purchase her groceries for the month, and with January coming to an end, her staples are running low. The thought of bad weather raises her concerns about not being able to get to the grocery store, especially since there’s no store within walking distance and Uber transportation might not be an option. To ease her worries about the weekend, having some food support would be a great relief if she finds herself stuck indoors during the winter storm. This is wish 2 of 2.
