Denise is a hardworking adult who's trying her best to survive since aging out of foster care. She is a Home Health Aide and loves her job. Her hours were recently lowered and making ends meet have been difficult. Denise usually goes to local food pantries for help with food, unfortunately the pantries she goes to weekly only offers non perished/ canned good items. She is grateful for any help but would love a nice hot meal from time to time. Granting her wish for a food gift card will allow her to buy perishable items that will help her maintain healthy eating and nutrients she is currently in need of. This request has been split into two wishes to allow for a successful shopping trip! This is wish 1 of 2.
