Wish submitted by:

Raven is a dedicated single mother who works hard to create a loving and stable life for her children. She takes great pride in being a mom and enjoys caring for those around her. Having spent time in kinship care as a child, she has a deep compassion for others and loves helping people in need. Making others happy gives her a sense of purpose. Despite facing challenges like depression and a recent move, Raven is determined to build a better future for her family. Currently, she lives with her grandmother while she rebuilds her life and seeks stability for herself and her kids. In her free time, she enjoys working out, listening to music, and playing games on her phone. Raven’s friendly personality and strong work ethic help her as she works towards a brighter future for her family.

Raven's daughter, Jai, is turning 7, and she is looking forward to a birthday with all the traditions, including cake and ice cream. Recent changes to which items her family can buy with her food benefits have made it harder to pick up the extras that make a birthday feel like a birthday. A Kroger shopping trip would let Raven choose a cake, a favorite flavor of ice cream, and a few special treats for the celebration. It is a simple way to help Raven give Jai the sweet, familiar birthday party she has been counting down to.
