Xenia, 20 years old, CA | NEEDED BY 07/10

Wish submitted by:

Xenia is a shy and quiet young person who has a great sense of humor, an incredible loyalty to her friends, and a deep desire to disrupt cycles of generational trauma. She has a history of foster care throughout her school years and has been impacted by a lack of resources and financial security. She struggled with school engagement in the past due to the impact of moving between schools while in the foster care system. She turned things around and made large strides in attendance, engagement with friends, and connecting with adults on the school campus. She is an incredibly thoughtful, kind-hearted, and intelligent person.

Xenia is going through a difficult time after recently losing her job and is struggling to afford groceries while she searches for new employment. She is working hard to find her next opportunity, but having reliable access to food would help ease some of the stress and uncertainty she is facing. A grocery gift card would allow Xenia to keep nutritious meals on the table, stay focused on her job search, and take care of her well-being during this challenging transition. This support would provide both practical assistance and much-needed peace of mind as she works toward getting back on her feet.
