Amy, 21 years old

Wish submitted by:

Amy is an energetic, independent young woman who was previously in placement. Despite hardships and setbacks, Amy maintained focus and graduated from high school while taking on additional responsibilities within the household. Amy is family-oriented and continues to make sacrifices with no regret as she wants to create a better life for herself and her younger siblings. Amy recently became a Certified Nursing Aide (CNA) and immediately continued increasing her skills and completed a Clinical Medical Assistant (CCMA) Certification on 5/10/23 and is currently preparing for the written exam. Amy's strong work ethic, determination, and resilience are especially impressive for her age!

Amy is working hard to save up for a new home due to the mold infestation in her current apartment. She informed her landlord, but the remediation process is taking longer than expected. Amy and her younger sibling have asthma, so finding a new place to live is crucial. After an exhaustive search, Amy was able to secure a new apartment and plans to move in on May 30th. However, she still needs to save up for the security deposit and first month's rent, and moving expenses will deplete her savings entirely.
