Dana, 18 years old, NJ

Wish submitted by:

Dana is a sweet girl who enjoys being active. She is now a girly girl and enjoys doing her hair, painting her nails, wearing make-up and just looking nice. She likes to go on hikes or just going for a walk around the neighborhood and enjoys hanging out with her friends. She loves to write in her journal and participate in art therapy.

Dana is a teenager who became a mother at a very young age. She has faced many challenges but has matured over the past few years, becoming more independent and self-aware. Dana is making significant progress in her life, and her caseworker has noticed that she has been using the same purse for several years. Currently, Dana is working towards obtaining her high school diploma while also learning how to care for herself and her daughter. Although she would love a new purse, Dana believes it is not a necessity and refuses to buy one for herself. In recognition of her accomplishments, Dana's caseworker is requesting a new purse as a surprise gift for her.
