Wish submitted by:

Josie is a determined young woman who recently moved to a new area to pursue personal growth and new experiences. Josie's goal is to enroll in an EMT program in 2027. She is passionate about pursuing a career in emergency medical services and is currently focused on stable employment so she can gain work experience, build financial stability, and prepare for her future educational goals. Outside of work and her future career plans, Josie enjoys exploring new foods and trying different restaurants. She also loves relaxing at the beach, where she can unwind and enjoy some peaceful time. Another activity she enjoys is doing her makeup, which gives her an opportunity to relax, be creative, and practice self-care.

Josie is working hard to manage her monthly expenses and maintain stable housing. Recently, her housing program deducted money from her monthly check to cover carpet cleaning after her roommate accidentally spilled juice on the carpet in their shared apartment. Josie wasn't responsible for the spill, but the program said roommates share the cleaning cost because they live together. She planned her budget around her usual monthly income, and the unexpected deduction has left her with less than she expected. Now she is struggling to cover essentials like groceries and other bills, and stretching her remaining money to meet her basic needs has become difficult. Groceries from Vons would keep food in her home while she adjusts to her reduced budget. With her food covered, she could put more of her limited income toward her other important bills and ease some of the stress this unforeseen expense has caused. Josie is doing her best to stay steady through unexpected circumstances, and this would bring her practical relief and peace of mind as she works to keep her housing stable.
