Moni, 15 years old, IA | 3 DAYS WAITING | NEEDED BY 05/15

Wish submitted by:

Moni has already learned lessons many never have to face. As the older sibling, she is quiet, reserved, and always listening. While others speak, she observes, carefully taking in every word, every shift in tone, every subtle signal. For her, paying attention has meant staying safe, staying prepared, and staying one step ahead of uncertainty. She does not ask for much. In fact, she rarely asks for anything at all. She loves her younger sibling deeply. Her presence is steady, her care unwavering. Her story is one of resilience, of quiet courage, and of a strength that often goes unnoticed. But beneath that calm exterior is someone who deserves to be heard, supported, and reminded that she doesn't have to carry the world alone.

Moni is requesting a season pass to Adventureland Park. This pass would provide her with unlimited access to a safe and engaging environment where she can escape daily stressors and simply be present in the moment. An especially meaningful aspect of this pass is the ability to bring a friend at no additional cost. This opportunity would enable her to strengthen a supportive relationship with a friend on her own terms. For a young person who has devoted so much time to looking out for others, this wish would give her something back: a chance to experience the joy of being a young person again.
