Rent Assistance for Kaliyah who had a large unexpected bill

Posted Jul 28, 2022
Kailyah is in need of a little kindness. She recently had an unplanned vet bill that the clinic required full payment for at the time of service, this charge essentially depleted the savings Kailyah had set aside for August’s rent. But she didn’t stop there. She reached out to every agency and organization she could to apply for emergency assistance, and with each one, listened to the various reasons why she was not eligible. Worried, she reached out to One Simple Wish as a last resort. Kailyah explained that this rent payment isn’t just keeping her safe for the month, but it is also critical to her ability to rent again after moving to start school in the fall.

Kaliyah is 23 years old and lives in MN

Kailyah has used her experiences, even in the hardest times, to approach life with optimism. She has developed the ability to use this perspective to create the best days she can for herself. During her time in foster care, she learned that family doesn’t always need to be blood to be relied on and supportive. She cherishes the connections she was able to create with friends and one loving family in particular that she has stayed close with even after aging out. Kailiyah says, “Foster care has helped shape me into being a kind person to everyone and to love and care for others”.
