Ashanta, 28 years old, IL | 1 DAY WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Ashanta has shown remarkable resilience from a young age. Impacted by DCFS and eventually aging out, she stepped into the role of caregiver for her siblings, demonstrating strength and compassion well beyond her years. Today, she is thriving in college and pushing forward toward her master’s degree, determined to create a bright future for herself and her family.

Ashanta has shown a lot of strength and hard work in her life. She has taken care of her siblings while also continuing her education. She is now reaching an important milestone as she works toward completing her degree and celebrating her academic success. This wish is for a charcuterie gift card to help her celebrate her graduation. It would give her a nice way to enjoy food and spend time with family and friends on this special day. For Ashanta, graduation is more than finishing school. It shows her hard work, strength, and determination to build a better future for herself and her family. This celebration would give her joy, encouragement, and a lasting happy memory of her achievement.
