Story
I am writing to respectfully request support in providing a Visa gift card for a youth currently detained at the Juvenile Detention Facility. The youth is preparing to transition directly into a new placement but does not have any clothing or personal belongings to take with them upon release. This presents a significant challenge to their ability to start this next chapter with dignity and stability.
We are specifically requesting a Visa gift card so the youth can independently purchase clothing and essential items at a store of their choice. This flexibility will not only ensure that they can access what they truly need, but also empower them with a sense of agency and normalcy during a time of significant transition.
