Simbali, 14 years old, NJ

Wish submitted by:

Simbali was removed for a while from home, and her mom was displaced for a while due to her older sister having mental health issues and destroying everything in the home. Simbali is a very intelligent young lady and an honor student who loves listening to music and caring for animals. Her dream is to become a veterinarian and start her clothing line. She has a passion for fashion and wishes to create her unique style. Additionally, she enjoys cosmetology and plans to do hair and nails in her free time. Simbali receives community support services from Saving Grace Ministries.

Simbali's trauma group will be focusing on the concept of self-love. This goal will help her understand what self-love means and how it can benefit both herself and others. This journal will provide her with an opportunity to explore new aspects of herself and her fellow group members. It will also allow her to take notes that will aid in her personal growth and enable her to reflect on her journey of learning about self-love.
