Jonasia, 18 years old, NY | 10 DAYS WAITING | NEEDED BY 06/19

Wish submitted by:

Jonasia has demonstrated tremendous resilience through a difficult upbringing and past involvement in foster care. Despite facing significant challenges, they have remained kind, respectful, responsible, and deeply committed to their personal growth and future goals. They are actively involved in their school community through leadership and service opportunities, consistently showing maturity, initiative, and a strong dedication to helping others. Their perseverance and determination have helped them stay focused academically while building a positive path forward. As they prepare to begin college with plans to pursue a degree in nursing, they are balancing the financial responsibilities of higher education while also hoping to celebrate important senior year milestones. Their strength, compassion, and commitment to giving back make them especially deserving young people as they begin this exciting next chapter.

Jonasia could really use some help with upcoming costs. Like many students, expenses for prom and graduation—such as a dress, shoes, hair, and alterations—can add up quickly and create a lot of financial stress, especially while she is also trying to save for her future education. The goal is to support Jonasia so she can fully enjoy and celebrate this important milestone without worrying about the added financial burden. This support would allow her to focus on her accomplishments, feel confident during her special events, and continue moving forward toward her goals with encouragement and peace of mind.
