Wednesday's Child: 13-year-old Jeinayah

Jeinayah, who likes to be called Jen, is a sweet and friendly girl with a big heart. While she may be a little shy at first, once she feels comfortable, she becomes talkative, outgoing, and full of energy. Jen has a vivid imagination and loves expressing herself through arts and crafts, whether it's drawing, coloring, or creating something new. She also enjoys spending time outdoors, where she can explore and stay active.

Jen has a very strong bond with her siblings and values the connections she shares with her family. She is also kind and helpful to others, always looking out for the people she cares about. In addition to her love for music and creativity, Jen is an animal lover and would be thrilled to have a cat or dog—or both!—in her future home.

With her caring nature, creativity, and love for connection, Jen brings warmth and positivity wherever she goes.
