Akella, 32 years old, MA

Wish submitted by:

After aging out of the foster care system, Akella has found ways to enjoy her free time. She loves listening to gospel, R&B, and hip-hop music, as well as watching reality shows, comedies, and dramas on TV. Akella also enjoys shopping for various items and finds pleasure in couponing. She remains actively involved with Silver Lining Mentoring as an alumni mentee, aiming to give back to younger mentees and inspire positive change through her experiences.

Akella is hoping to receive a grocery gift card to help with her food expenses. With the rising cost of gas and other living expenses, she has been working hard to budget her money carefully. Support with groceries would greatly ease her financial stress and help her meet her basic needs. This is wish 1 of 2.
