Jinny, 15 years old, NJ | NEEDED BY 05/15

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 young woman who is working on building her confidence and healing after going through many difficult experiences. She has been attending therapy and is starting to feel more positive and connected, even leading workshops and growing her self-esteem. For an upcoming Memorial Day group outing, Jinny is asking for a pair of comfortable summer sneakers. She would like them to match her style and go well with an outfit she already has. Having new sneakers would help Jinny feel comfortable, confident, and happy as she spends time with others and enjoys new experiences.
