A Walmart gift card for Nyasia who is learning to live independently

Posted Sep 17, 2017
Nyasia has just started the new school year at her college, and she could use some additional assistance to afford some items for her dorm room (such as shower shoes, laundry detergent, snacks, etc.). We would love to be able to help Nyasia with a Walmart gift card so that she can afford these things without using up her savings from her summer job!

Nyasia is 27 years old and lives in NJ

Nyasia has been in foster care for 8 years. She has incredible determination, and has overcome a lot during her time in care, including a learning disability, being separated from her sister, and having to work long hours at multiple jobs to make ends meet. She is now in college and living independently. She is majoring in sociology with the goal of becoming a social worker. What better person To do the job than someone who has lived it! Nyasia recently got a raise after working at Target for 2 years which she is super excited about!
