Tasha, 25 years old, NY | 32 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Tasha is a kind and resilient young woman who has shown remarkable perseverance. After growing up in foster care and aging out of the system, she transitioned into supportive housing to continue receiving guidance and to prioritize her mental health and well-being. Tasha is working towards her GED and is working as a part-time security guard. She finds joy and inspiration in art and anime, which reflect her creativity and vibrant personality. With the right support, Tasha will continue to thrive and achieve her goals.

Tasha obtained a job a few months ago and has been working hard to achieve financial stability while maintaining her housing and meeting her basic needs. One of her primary goals has been saving for braces, as she has struggled with feeling self-conscious about her teeth for many years. Because her insurance does not cover orthodontic treatment, Tasha is responsible for covering the costs herself. She must provide a deposit to begin treatment, and financial support would help ease this burden and allow her to move forward with the care she has been working hard to afford. This support would not only assist Tasha financially but also help her gain the confidence to smile.
