Kenisha Anthony's Kithmiss Initiative: Giving Holiday Gifts to Foster Teens in Miami

Kenisha's Kithmiss Initiative

• 💡 Kenisha Anthony is spearheading the "Kenisha's Kithmiss" initiative to bring joy to underprivileged teenagers in the foster care system in Miami.
• 🎯 The program focuses on providing gifts to teens throughout the month of December.

Personal Connection to the Cause

• 💖 Anthony's own experience in foster care, entering the system at age four and aging out, deeply informs her work.
• ⚠️ She shares that some Christmases she received no gifts, a reality she learned to live with.

Granting Teen Wish Lists

• 🎁 Anthony's primary goal is to fulfill the specific wishes of the teens on their wish lists.
• 💳 If budget constraints prevent fulfilling a wish, she provides gift cards, empowering teens to choose their own gifts.
• ✨ This approach gives teens the liberty to choose, whether it's a day at the mall, a meal, or specific items like clothing or makeup.

Community Support and Distribution

• 🤝 Anthony receives financial assistance from community members and local businesses to support the initiative.
• 📍 A gift distribution event will be held next Saturday at Roots Bookstore and Market in Miami, from 1 to 4 PM, and is open to the public.
