Iris, 23 years old, TX

Wish submitted by:

Iris is a resilient and kind young woman who has faced more than her fair share of instability. After moving from foster home to foster home, she was adopted with her younger brother as a teenager. Unfortunately, that adoption broke down, leaving them homeless and without support. Since then, Iris has worked tirelessly to support herself. After experiencing some setbacks, she is currently living in her car while working full-time at a care home for the elderly. Despite these challenges, she remains open-hearted and kind, dreaming of turning her passion for caring into a lifelong profession. She is diligently working to get into a training program to become a Certified Nurse's Aide and find stable housing.

After years of housing instability, Iris is finally moving into her own place for the first time. She has been working tirelessly to save money for this apartment. However, she now needs help getting essential items, such as hygiene products. This support will enable her to feel clean and fresh as she embarks on this new journey.
