Apartment security deposit for Imani who works so very hard

Posted Apr 18, 2018
Imani works 32 hours a week and attends school full time. She has been living in the same apartment complex for over a year now with two other roommates. She loves her apartment and it really feels like home - which is new for Imani since she spent much of her life in foster care. Very recently their rent was increased by $65 per person, but what's worse is that Imani is also being asked to put down two months security since she does not have a cosigner. Imani is really stressing out about where she is going to find an extra $750 and we would love to help her do that so she can just focus on her studies. She is so terrified that she may be kicked out of her home soon and no one should feel that way. This is wish #1 of 2.

Imani is 25 years old and lives in CA

Imani is an emancipated foster youth who is entering her sophomore year at a four year university where she is majoring in Sociology. Her goal is to receive her Bachelor’s and possibly pursue a career in the entertainment industry. Imani has a very charismatic and strong personality, she has been able to build strong connections with her professors and can get along extremely well with her peers. She has no problem sharing her unique opinions on certain topics and using her intellect in the classroom and in her everyday life. In her free time, Imani loves to keep people laughing; she loves to light up a room by bringing a smile to people's faces with her many talents. Whether it be singing, improvisational acting, dancing, poetry, or just cracking jokes, this bright young woman is sure the leave you smiling.

"I hope that you can sleep better at night and study without worry with the granting of this wish :) The anxiety can be distracting when faced with this sort of issue as if the rent increase isn't bad enough. The write up about you drew me in and I'm glad to help. I wish you success in your studies and your future career. Be safe and be well! "
