Wish submitted by:

Hunter has faced many challenges throughout his life, including time spent in the foster care system and periods of homelessness where he relied on shelters for support. Despite these difficult circumstances, Hunter has shown resilience and determination to build a better future for himself. Hunter is in a transitional housing program, where he is taking active steps toward stability and independence. He is highly motivated and committed to turning his life around. Hunter’s current goals include completing his GED and pursuing higher education through a two-year college program. Hunter demonstrates a strong work ethic, a positive outlook, and a willingness to embrace opportunities for personal growth.

Due to the recent surge in summer temperatures, Hunter has been using more electricity than usual while attending his virtual classes at home, resulting in an unexpectedly high electric bill this month. This increase has placed a significant strain on his finances, and he is now facing financial hardship. To alleviate some of this stress, Hunter is seeking assistance with groceries to ensure he has access to adequate food and essential household items while managing his rising utility costs. He remains dedicated to his education and is working hard towards his future independence, and receiving this support would allow him to focus more on his studies without the constant worry of meeting his basic needs. Any help with groceries would make a meaningful difference for Hunter and help him navigate through this temporary financial challenge.
