Sasha, 30 years old, NY

Wish submitted by:

Sasha is a bright young woman with many plans for the future. She recently obtained her BA in criminal justice. She is particularly interested in working with adolescents who are involved in the criminal justice system and foster care. She hopes to get involved in advocacy work so that she can share her own experiences and help speak for others.

Sasha is a hardworking young woman with lived experience in the foster care system who is currently facing ongoing medical challenges. She is in constant pain and has been recommended an orthotic shoe insert to help improve her mobility and comfort in daily life. Unfortunately, the cost of this essential item is more than she can afford, and her insurance does not cover it. Because of this, she has been unable to move forward with getting the support she needs. An orthotic insert would make a meaningful difference in Sasha’s quality of life by reducing her pain and helping her get through each day with greater comfort and stability. Support with this need would have an immediate and lasting impact on her health and well-being.
