Jen, 15 years old, NJ

Wish submitted by:

Jen is a courageous and hardworking teen who consistently rises above adversity, demonstrating remarkable strength and determination despite facing challenges that most people never will. She has survived sexual abuse and the heartbreak of being abandoned by her mother, yet she remains dedicated to her education, working diligently to keep up in school. Her confidence has flourished through playing softball, which has also fostered a sense of connection and community. In addition to her academic pursuits, Jen routinely helps her father maintain their home, showcasing a level of responsibility and resilience well beyond her years. A little support would go a long way in helping her build a brighter, more hopeful future.

Jen is expecting a baby girl in March and needs assistance in preparing for her baby's arrival. A crib is essential, and fulfilling this wish would greatly alleviate Jen's stress as she focuses on making other preparations for her baby. It would also serve as a reminder to Jen that she is seen and supported as she embarks on this new journey.
