HOLIDAY WISH

A special holiday meal for Clarissa and her daughter

Posted Dec 22, 2020
Clarissa is a single mother living in Manhattan. She's currently unemployed, and has had difficulty buying essentials like clothing and groceries. A gift card to Instacart would be a huge help for Clarissa so she can buy groceries for a great holiday meal for herself and her daughter! This would be such a special gift for Clarissa.

Clarissa is 29 years old and lives in NY

Clarissa is a dedicated mother from Brooklyn, NY. She has aged out of foster care and has been working on gaining consistent employment, and trying to gain and learn new skills toward building an independent life. Clarissa lives alone with her 6 year old daughter and is a dedicated parent. She is a fearless advocate for her daughter and for the needs of people in public housing and continues to show resilience in everything she does.
