Think of Us

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 currently interning with the Hilton Foundation in Midtown Atlanta and is passionate about her role as a youth advocate. She is eager to learn more about the non-profit sector. However, she has recently faced an increase in the cost of her round-trip Uber rides, which she had not budgeted for. This month, she is seeking assistance for a few round-trip rides to and from southwestern Atlanta. Receiving this support would help her manage until she receives her monthly income, allowing her to rework her budget for the upcoming months. This wish has been split up so that Mecca can make these trips. This is part 2 of 2.
