Wish submitted by:

Jessica has endured significant hardship throughout her life, including addiction, homelessness, the loss of her children to the foster care system, and the devastating loss of her brother to suicide. Despite these painful experiences, Jessica has shown remarkable resilience. She is now 12 years sober, has reunited with her children, and is fully committed to creating a stable, healthy life for her family. Jessica’s world revolves around her kids, and she is determined to continue growing for their sake. She is actively engaged in multiple programs through the Children's Institute and recently began therapy services to support her healing and personal development. Jessica is eager to learn new skills, strengthen her well-being, and build a positive future. Her love for her children and her dedication to self-improvement continue to guide her forward.

Jessica is seeking support because her EBT benefits were stolen this month, along with those of many other victims of recent EBT fraud. She has no income to replace the stolen benefits and cannot afford to buy groceries for herself and her four children. Currently, Jessica does not have a full-time job, and her health has recently declined, making it even more difficult for her to meet her family’s basic needs. The loss of her food benefits has created significant financial strain and added stress in an already challenging situation. Receiving assistance at this time would help ensure that Jessica and her children have enough food for the month and would greatly alleviate the financial pressure they are experiencing.
