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.

Jinny was very happy to recently receive a pair of sneakers as a gift. However, she would love to have a second pair to go with outfits that her current shoes don’t match. For Jinny, having comfortable shoes is very important. A second pair of sneakers would mean a lot to her and help her feel more confident as she continues through this exciting time in her life.
