Jennifer is a college going foster youth who is raising her two children while pursuing her degree to become a counselor. Jennifer is very resourceful, but has fallen on hard times due to a very serious health condition. Unable to work because she needs to receive regular treatments, she is struggling to make ends meet. Her family of 3 does not receive enough food stamps to cover the food they need, especially because she needs to be eating as many HEALTHY and fresh items as she can. She is asking for help to meet her family's basic needs for food, and so she can fill her pantry with fresh fruits and veggies, dairy and protein sources, and some special snacks for her children.
