A weighted blanket for Lynese who is working on ways to cope with her feelings

Posted May 10, 2018
Lynese is wishing for a weighted blanket to help her calm down during tough times and to help her sleep. Lynese has been very stressed about school and her future now that she will be graduating in June. She reported that the past, she has used a weighted blanket which she felt really helped her calm her mind. Having one of her own will help Lynese be able to calm herself down when she starts to feel upset.

Lynese is 24 years old and lives in RI

Lynese is a quiet, thoughtful 17 year old girl who has made the tough decision to stay in foster care and age out next year. Lynese has an incredibly close relationship with her foster mother and they can talk about anything. Lynese is focused on her future and is currently completing both 10th and 11th grade classes to graduate on time. In her spare time, Lynese likes to go hiking with her friends and watch horror movies.
