A Target gift card for Juanita whose birthday recently passed

Posted May 16, 2024
Juanita's birthday just passed and her mother didn't get her anything at all, not even a card. She and her brother were supposed to have a visit with their mother for Antonio's birthday; however she just cancelled. Juanita and her brother are upset that she won't see them. Their caseworker and other staff are chipping in to put together a surprise birthday party for them with cake, food and decorations just to show them someone cares about them. The wish is for a Target gift card so Juanita can buy something she'd like for her birthday. This request has been split into two wishes to allow for a great shopping trip! This is wish 2 of 2.

Juanita is 16 years old and lives in NJ

Juanita is the 2nd oldest of five children. She is very studious and wants to do well in school because she sees how hard it is for her parents and she wants to have a career where she won't struggle her whole life. She enjoys being with her family, cooking with her mother and watching movies with her older sister.

"Juanita and her brother were beyond surprised when they arrived at the office and walked into a fully decorated room with food and cake just for them! They were shocked that not only would the staff do that for them, but were overjoyed and shocked that a stranger would give them presents! Juanita expressed her thanks many times and was overwhelmed with emotion because her birthday had already passed. This would not have been as great a day as it was without your generous gift! Thank you!! "
