Lachae, 17 years old, NJ | 1 DAY WAITING | NEEDED BY 04/03

Wish submitted by:

Lachae is a girl who is reserved but is learning to step outside her comfort zone. Recently, she was placed in a home with extended family and just enrolled in school. Although she is afraid of these new changes, she wants to pursue a different life. Lachae enjoys music, dancing, and doing hair, and she wants to return to the things she loves. As someone who has been antisocial due to bullying, she longs for a change and is determined to embrace it. She desires to connect with other teenagers her age and experience something different.

Lachae's household is in need of food after their refrigerator broke, causing them to discard spoiled items. They are receiving assistance in obtaining a new refrigerator, but they still need help with food. Since their SNAP benefits have already been spent for this month, Lachae relies on her trauma group for dinner. This assistance will help provide meals for Lachae's household until their SNAP benefits are replenished. They can store cold and frozen items in a neighbor's refrigerator, but this support will be crucial, as the benefits are not sufficient for their needs.
