Hi. I am making this wish for my daughter. She was assaulted
violently by 3 men at age 11. She was assaulted by another man at
age 12. She never told us what happened. During 9th grade sex ed
class the topic was brought up. She started having flashbacks and
began cutting herself. When she finally told me what had happened
she started therapy and was diagnosed with PTSD. A very intense
therapy session triggered a very vivid flahback that caused her to
swallow 100 tylenol and 100 motrin. Thank god i was home from work
or she would have died. I rushed her to the local hospital where
they tried to treat her during which she begged me to kill her. She
was transfered to Childrens Hospital where she remained in
intensive care for 3 1/2 day. She was then transfered to a mental
health facility. When she returned to school she started being
harrassed mentally and sexually. She was dismissed early from the
school year because she was making herself ill with stress. Over
the summer things got much worse. People would call her in the
middle of the night and say things like "Too bad u didnt kill
yourself! Better luck next time" "You deserved what u got u F-in
whore". "How was the looney bin?" She tried to go back to summer
sports and was made to feel uncomfortable. I contacted the school
and they put her on homebound. I spent the summer fighting to have
her educated somewwhere else and that finally happened last week.
While she is doing well with her new therapist her self esteem is
at an all time low. I have 4 other children and cant afford to do
the things that i think will help her self esteem. My wish is for a
spa day/makeover and/or some nice new clothes. Im hoping that would
help her a little because she needs all the help she can get. Thank
you.
