Ashley, 17 years old, VA | 7 DAYS WAITING | NEEDED BY 11/20

Wish submitted by:

Ashley has been in foster care for most of her life. She has moved a lot, but she has remained an honor student and is very passionate about math. She wants to go to college to study business finance and hopes to help others learn investment strategies. Ashley loves listening to music, camping, and makeup. She hopes to help people become financially stable and meet their basic needs.

Ashley is looking forward to Thanksgiving and to sitting down to a meal that feels familiar and steady. Her life has held a lot of change, so the ordinary comforts of a holiday carry extra weight for her. A Food Lion shopping trip would let her fill her cart with the dishes she loves and the ingredients she needs, with enough left over to eat well in the days after. She could spend the holiday enjoying her meal and making a happy memory, instead of adding up what it costs.
