Groceries for Reagan who has dietary restrictions stemming from malnutrition as a child

Posted May 20, 2020
While Reagan is incredibly grateful to be working right now, her work has been cut back and it is greatly impacting her ability to provide for herself and her family. Due to COVID-19, Reagan says, "We are struggling to put food on the table." Reagan has many dietary restrictions due to physical problems stemming from malnutrition in early childhood so this can be even more expensive than traditional groceries.

Reagan is 32 years old and lives in ME

Reagan reached out to One Simple Wish for support and one thing was very clear from her story - She is a hardworking, determined, young person who is not letting her circumstances define her. In Reagan's words, "My name is Reagan, I am a married mother of one beautiful little girl, age 3. I was in foster care on and off from age 7 until I aged out of care. During that time, I was in a total of 31 placements on my road to being an adult (not including periodic failed placements back home in an effort of permanency.) I struggled my way through school, both full and part-time from semester to semester . I worked odd jobs to support myself on my way to my undergraduate degree. I graduated with a 3.0 GPA with my Bachelors of Arts degree from the University of Maine and now work as care coordinator and direct care worker for children who are in my exact situation two decades ago."
