Trip to Shoprite for 19 y/o who wants to eat healthier

Posted Nov 7, 2016
Nyasia wants to be able to cook some of her meals instead of buying all her food premade at fast food restaurants and the school cafeteria.

Nyasia is 27 years old and lives in NJ

Nyasia has been in foster care for 8 years. She has incredible determination, and has overcome a lot during her time in care, including a learning disability, being separated from her sister, and having to work long hours at multiple jobs to make ends meet. She is now in college and living independently. She is majoring in sociology with the goal of becoming a social worker. What better person To do the job than someone who has lived it! Nyasia recently got a raise after working at Target for 2 years which she is super excited about!
