Jinny, 15 years old, NJ

Wish submitted by:

In the midst of facing tough challenges from her difficult past dealing with domestic violence, Jinny, a strong and determined young woman, found herself grappling with a new diagnosis of PTSD. Her struggle with a stuttering problem exacerbates her feelings of shame, leading to social anxiety and panic attacks that affect her self-confidence. Despite these difficulties, Jinny's inner strength shines through as a talented poet with dreams of becoming a writer. Not only that, she also excels in mathematics, a skill that has set her apart since she was young.

A request has been made for a special day out at Dave & Buster's for Jinny and her friend from her therapy group. This outing would mean a great deal to Jinny, as it would provide her with a day filled with fun and friendship. Jinny has been navigating a challenging journey, and spending time with a supportive friend in a joyful environment could significantly uplift her spirits and boost her confidence. At Dave & Buster's, she can immerse herself in exciting games and engaging activities, creating positive memories that encourage resilience in her everyday life. Connecting with her friend in such a vibrant setting would help reinforce the bonds she has formed during therapy, reminding her that she is not alone in her journey. This experience could serve as a powerful reminder of the support surrounding her and the hope that brighter days are ahead. This wish has been split up so that Jinny and her friend can have a great time! This is wish 1 of 2.
