Wish submitted by:

In the midst of facing tough challenges from her difficult past dealing with domestic violence, Jinny, a strong and determined young woman, found herself grappling with a new diagnosis of PTSD. Her struggle with a stuttering problem exacerbates her feelings of shame, leading to social anxiety and panic attacks that affect her self-confidence. Despite these difficulties, Jinny's inner strength shines through as a talented poet with dreams of becoming a writer. Not only that, she also excels in mathematics, a skill that has set her apart since she was young.

Jinny’s birthday is just around the corner, and she has a lovely wish for her special day. This amazing young lady has shown incredible strength in the face of challenges like bullying, domestic violence, and health issues, yet she always keeps her spirit high. For her birthday this week, Jinny wants to spend quality time with her mom and younger sister, enjoying a day of relaxation and celebration. She’s hoping to forget about any worries and instead embrace the joy of another year. Her heart is set on dining at Bahama Breeze, a cozy restaurant where they can indulge in slushy drinks and her all-time favorite jerk pasta. She’d also love to share some appetizers and a delicious dessert with her family. Making this birthday wish come true for Jinny would show her just how bright life can be, even in tough times. It’s a chance for her to embrace happiness and make wonderful memories with her loved ones.
