Enrique is really looking forward to having a special birthday dinner at Benihana. It's not just about having a delicious meal; it's a way to celebrate his journey. Growing up in the foster care system, he spent many birthdays and special moments alone. Now that he's moving into his first apartment and gaining independence, this gift card would give him the opportunity to treat himself to a wonderful experience – something he truly deserves. It's a chance for Enrique to not only celebrate his birthday but also to acknowledge how far he's come, all while enjoying a well-deserved night out.
