Gabriella, 26 years old, OH

Wish submitted by:

Gabriella is a determined young mother who has faced many challenges but continues to work hard to build a better future for herself and her daughter. After spending time in kinship care, Gabriella eventually aged out of the foster care system and began living with a close friend while learning how to navigate adulthood on her own. Shortly after, Gabriella embraced motherhood. Becoming a parent was a turning point in her life. A moment that deeply impacted her motivated her to make important changes and fully commit to creating a stable and positive future for her daughter. Gabriella relocated to a new state to begin a fresh chapter. She is actively working through the steps necessary to regain permanent custody of her daughter and currently maintains visitation while continuing to demonstrate her dedication as a parent. Gabriella is focused on building stability, strengthening her relationship with her daughter, and creating joyful memories together. She works hard every day to prove that she is ready to provide the loving and supportive life her daughter deserves.

Gabriella recently found herself in a tough spot when her refrigerator was accidentally unplugged, causing a lot of her perishable groceries to spoil. With her current EBT benefits falling short, she’s feeling the financial pinch even more. A gift card would really help her out by allowing her to restock on essential items like fresh fruits and vegetables, dairy, meat, frozen foods, and other pantry staples. The flexibility of a gift card would let her choose exactly what her family needs right now, which is crucial for restoring her food security. This kind of support would lighten her burden, allowing Gabriella to concentrate on her treatment goals and overall well-being without the added stress of replacing what was lost.
