Groceries for Ace who is learning to cook for the first time

Posted Apr 9, 2025
Ace's apartment is one of the few places that has ever felt like home. It has become a safe space that they keep clean, decorated, and full of warmth because they have had to create the concept of "home" from scratch. After a lifetime of surviving with whatever was available, Ace is learning to cook for the first time, and they are loving it. They are working hard to develop essential life skills, and one of the biggest challenges has been affording groceries and ingredients. Ace wishes for a Shaw's grocery gift card to get all that is needed to make a great meal. Granting this wish will allow Ace to continue experimenting in the kitchen, build their confidence, and finally enjoy the simple luxury of home-cooked meals. This request has been split into two wishes to allow for a great shopping trip! This is wish 1 of 2.

Ace is 19 years old and lives in MA

Ace is a foster care alumnus who has faced more hardship than most do in a lifetime but continues to move forward with strength, creativity, and heart. After entering the system due to violence in the home, Ace endured years of instability, mistreatment, and constant displacement, moving through 19 different placements. Despite the trauma, Ace kept showing up. For school. For work. For life. They love dogs, plants, arts and crafts, makeup, roller skating, Nintendo gaming, reading, and the color purple.
