Zahra, 18 years old

Wish submitted by:

Despite enduring significant trauma throughout her childhood, Zahra has emerged as a beacon of resilience and strength. Her experiences in foster care have fueled her determination to make a difference in the world, driving Zahra to pursue a career in criminal justice. Navigating college with unwavering resolve, Zahra is committed to transforming her past pain into a force for positive change, aiming to advocate for justice and support others who have faced similar struggles. Her journey exemplifies an extraordinary blend of personal fortitude and a deep-seated desire to contribute meaningfully to society.

Zahra is hoping to get a SmartSleep clock to help her cope with feelings of depression and fatigue, particularly during the winter months. She's been struggling with significant paranoia and tiredness, which are intensified by Seasonal Affective Disorder. The long, dark winter days really affect her mood and can throw off her body's natural sleep cycle. She knows that getting some light, whether it's natural or artificial, could help ease her stress and boost her Vitamin D and serotonin levels. It's about finding a way to feel a little better during these tougher times.
