Abby, 19 years old, NJ

Wish submitted by:

Abby is a dedicated and goal-driven pre-med Biology major currently attending community college. A strong academic achiever, she graduated in the top 15% of her high school class, reflecting her commitment to excellence and her determination to succeed. During her first semester of college, she successfully completed a Certified Home Health Aide (CHHA) training program, further demonstrating her passion for healthcare and helping others. While working part-time as a server and living independently, Abby continues to show exceptional resilience, responsibility, and perseverance. She skillfully balances her academic and work responsibilities while pursuing her long-term goal of becoming a pediatrician. Abby’s compassion, strong work ethic, and ability to overcome challenges highlight her potential to excel in both her studies and her future medical career.

Abby would benefit from a ShopRite gift card to help with grocery costs while she manages a busy schedule of school and leadership activities. Because she has limited time to work, this support would ease financial stress and help her maintain a healthy routine. It would also allow her to stay focused on her studies and continue participating in leadership, volunteer work, and professional development. This is wish 2 of 2.
