Dinah, 18 years old, CA

Wish submitted by:

Dinah is a resilient young woman who has overcome many obstacles in her life. She is currently in therapy to support her continued healing and personal growth. Dinah and her siblings entered the foster care system at a young age and were unfortunately separated. Despite everything she has been through, Dinah always wears a smile and embraces life with positivity. She finds joy in her daily life through the hobbies she loves. Now that Dinah is an adult, she lives in an Extended Foster Care apartment and is able to visit her siblings on weekends. She holds them close to her heart and describes them as her best friends.

Dinah lights up every time she talks about her passion for performing in plays. Being on stage brings her a sense of joy and fulfillment like nothing else. She is currently working to reconnect with a theater studio so she can continue pursuing her love for acting. Dinah describes the stage as the place where she feels truly happiest. In addition to acting, she has long dreamed of exploring a new artistic skill: ice skating. Since childhood, she has imagined gliding across the ice, and now she’s ready to take the first step toward making that dream a reality. Dinah is requesting a pair of ice skates to begin learning this beautiful craft, hoping that one day it may lead to opportunities for her to perform on ice.
