Deja'nai, 20 years old, CA | 7 DAYS WAITING | NEEDED BY 10/03

Wish submitted by:

San Diego Youth Services

Deja’nai is a quiet young woman who tends to keep to herself. She has experienced significant trauma in the past, which has led her to maintain a small and trusted circle of people in her life. Deja’nai is actively engaged in therapy, which is helping her overcome difficult obstacles. She is working towards a degree in Early Childhood Development, as she enjoys being around children and looks forward to the day she can begin working with them. In her free time, Deja’nai enjoys spending time in nature, where she can experience peaceful moments of reflection. She also has a sweet tooth and especially loves cupcakes. Deja'nai receives support from San Diego Youth Services.

Deja’nai had to leave Sacramento in the middle of the night to escape a dangerous domestic violence situation. For her safety, she fled quickly and was unable to bring any of her belongings with her. Now starting over in San Diego, she is in urgent need of clothing to feel comfortable, confident, and prepared as she begins building a new chapter of her life. Having access to new clothes is not just about replacing what was lost—it’s about restoring dignity, stability, and hope after such a traumatic experience. Supporting Deja’nai with this basic need will allow her to focus on her education, healing, and future, instead of worrying about what she doesn’t have. This is wish 1 of 2.
