Self-care for Leslie to celebrate a milestone birthday
Leslie, 22 years old
Wish submitted by:
CASA NY - New York CountyLeslie is such a remarkable young woman. She's incredibly smart and works super hard to achieve her goals, despite facing some pretty tough challenges along the way. When she's not busy with school or work, Leslie loves to curl up with a good book or play with her adorable cat. She's just the sweetest!
For Leslie’s 21st birthday, she dreamed of having a new experience, one where she could self-care and escape her worries for a bit, and one that didn’t trigger her social anxiety, which can be severe. Leslie has never been to a spa. Since she is so responsible and practical, this is not something she would normally do for herself, nor could she afford to, as all of her money goes to essentials and her family needs. Her birthday passed already and she didn't get to have this experience yet. She would love to try a massage or a facial for the first time, and her 21st birthday seems like the perfect time to do something like this and acknowledge all her hard work up to this milestone in her life.

"Happy belated birthday, Leslie. I hope you truly enjoy your spa-day. I believe strongly in self-care and am so glad you want to experience the joy it can bring first-hand. Many people think this is a luxury, but I know I can best give to others when my own cup is full. self-care is one way I make sure my cup is full. Take good care of you, and spill into the lives of others. ~ Shay"
