A gift card for food for emancipated foster youth Stephanie who is struggling to find work

Posted Sep 18, 2018
Stephanie has fallen on hard times. She is searching for work after learning she cannot qualify for the job she was supposed to have because of a pre-existing health condition. She has applied for food stamps and is submitting her work applications high and low, but she is in urgent need of food support to help see her through this difficult time.

Stephanie is 28 years old and lives in CA

Stephanie is a Media and Cultural Studies major in college and she enjoys singing and playing guitar. Her hope after graduation is to become an online marketer. Stephanie has had to overcome many obstacles including struggling with depression. However she is now about to graduate from college and pursue her goals. She says she has been able to overcome her struggles because she has a community of support such as Guardian Scholars and her church to lean on. Stephanie is also a trained dancer and enjoys dancing hip hop, modern jazz, and other styles.

The Wish Story

Melissa grants the wish for Stephanie! Thanks Melissa.

"Hello Stephanie. I know how hard it is to get started. I remember when I was your age - a long long time ago - when I had to find the change in and around my car to get a $0.49 hamburger at McDonalds. Or I went to the gas station with just a few dollars. What I will tell you is that you just don't know what is around the corner and how things can change for the better. Keep striving. I hope this helps. The Chamberlains"
