Joshua, 18 years old, NJ

Wish submitted by:

Joshua, a youth in foster care, has developed a genuine passion for trees and plants, which has become one of his greatest strengths and sources of comfort. He also shows a caring heart toward others, looking out for his loved ones and showing compassion and responsibility in his relationships. His ability to nurture both people and plants highlights his kind and dependable character, as well as his potential to use his passion for nature in future educational or career opportunities.

Josh would greatly benefit from a ShopRite gift card, as he is currently couch surfing and lacks stable housing. This situation limits his ability to consistently access and store food, making it difficult for him to meet his basic nutritional needs. A gift card would enable him to purchase ready-to-eat meals and essential items as needed, providing flexibility and immediate support. This assistance would help reduce his daily stress and ensure he has reliable access to food while he works toward greater stability. This is part 1 of 2.
