Anessa, 18 years old, NJ | 5 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Anessa is in high school and searching for employment opportunities as she prepares for adulthood. She maintains a 4.0 GPA and demonstrates strong dedication to her education and future goals. Anessa is interested in attending a two-year college after graduating high school and is motivated to take the necessary steps toward becoming more independent and prepared for adulthood. She has a bubbly and positive personality and enjoys giving back to others and being involved in her community. Anessa presents as motivated, goal-oriented, and excited about the opportunities that come with transitioning into adulthood.

As Anessa ages out of her transitional living program and searches for stable housing, she's having to cover a lot on her own, including the everyday basics that are easy to overlook but hard to go without, things like toiletries, cleaning supplies, and other household essentials. A little flexibility to choose what she needs most, when she needs it, would help ease the pressure as she works to get back on her feet.
