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.

Jinny is a courageous young woman who has survived domestic violence. Although she is strong, old memories sometimes resurface, making it difficult for her to feel normal. As a result, Jinny tends to be cautious and guarded, which inhibits her ability to build a larger friend group. However, she does have a couple of friends from her therapy group with whom she would really like to go out to dinner. Jinny sees this as an opportunity to relax and enjoy a meal while creating lasting memories with her friends.
