"Thank you and thank One Simple Wish for the target gift card. It came in a time where I needed it the most, with everything going on and my college not offering meal plans or shuttles to and from stores at the time the gift card was really helpful. I was able to get food, water and toiletries with the gift card when I barely had any. Thank you so much for the support."
