Michelle, 25 years old, OH | 1 DAY WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Michelle grew up in foster care and faced many challenges during her childhood. When she turned 18, she aged out of the system and had to figure out adulthood with very little support. She later lived with her mother, but the relationship was difficult and did not work out. After that, Michelle went through a period of instability, including times without stable housing. She eventually met someone, got married, and had a son. Over time, the relationship became unhealthy, and Michelle made the hard decision to leave in order to create a safer, more positive life for herself and her child. Even with everything she has been through, Michelle enjoys spending time outside and relaxing with a good movie.

Michelle recently moved into her apartment and is working hard to build stability for herself and her son. Due to recent stressors and an unexpected period of unpaid leave from work while allegations against her were being investigated, her finances have become strained. While she continues to move forward, it has become difficult to afford basic household necessities. Support with everyday essentials would help Michelle purchase items like laundry detergent, toilet paper, paper towels, and other daily needs. This assistance would help ease some of her financial stress and allow her to focus on maintaining stability and care for her family.
