Bucket List
During her captivity, Jaycee Dugard kept a special bucket list of things she never imagined she would ever do. The very first item was, “See mom.” Since her release, she has been working with JAYC Foundation, which she founded to help trauma victims. She continues to accomplish things on her bucket list like learning how to sail and riding a hot air balloon. She claims, “It’s taken a lot of time and it hasn’t come overnight.
You have to put in the hard work and cry and, for sure, laugh about everything that you can.” We know a lot of people must have meeting Oprah on their bucket lists, so it’s pretty amazing Jaycee has met her!
Comparison To Room
When asked if she saw the movie Room about an Austrian case where a woman was help for 24 years by her dad in a basement, Jaycee said she read the book. However, she hasn’t watched the film. This woman was raped and gave birth to 7 kids during her 24 years in captivity.
Jaycee said, “People think it’s close to my story. It’s very different from what I went through.”
