Jinny, 15 years old, NJ | 6 DAYS WAITING

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 and her sister are packing up for a new school in Florida, a hard goodbye to the therapy group that helped her heal, but also a real fresh start for their family. A comfortable pair of sandals in a versatile color would help her walk into her first day feeling like herself.
