San Diego Youth Services

Alexis is a wise young woman who has faced many challenges growing up in the foster system. She has a warm and positive personality that attracts people. Although she doesn't have a strong support system in San Diego, she keeps in touch with a few cousins from her hometown. She's working hard to create a stable life in her new apartment through a housing program. Alexis enjoys expressing her creativity by decorating her home and putting together unique outfits. Her resilience and joyful spirit make her a remarkable person with a bright future.

Since a recent incident near her apartment, Alexis has been experiencing heightened anxiety that has made it difficult for her to feel comfortable leaving her room—even to cook meals in her own kitchen. As a result, she has been relying on quick snacks or skipping proper meals altogether. This has been a challenging adjustment, and Alexis is actively working through these feelings with her therapist as she learns how to navigate the fear and anxiety that followed the incident. This gift card would provide Alexis with immediate support during this healing process. Having meals delivered directly to her door would allow her to eat nourishing food without pushing herself beyond what she can manage right now. It would relieve stress, support her well-being, and give her one less thing to worry about while she focuses on feeling safe again. This is wish 2 of 2.
