Crystal, 13 years old

Wish submitted by:

Crystal is truly one of a kind. As an awesome big sister with a deep love for animals, she aspires to become a veterinarian. In September 2024, her life changed dramatically when she and her dad narrowly escaped a devastating fire that claimed two loved ones. Though they suffered minor burns, Crystal now faces sleepless nights and PTSD, having lost many personal belongings and spent weeks without a stable home. Recently, she reunited with her mom, who is recovering from brain surgery and has limited income. Together, they care for Crystal’s younger half-sibling and their cherished six-year-old dog. Despite the challenges, Crystal finds joy in playing with her dog, going to the movies, and making jewelry. Her favorite color is blue, and she has a special fondness for Hello Kitty. Through it all, Crystal’s resilience and spirit shine brightly, reflecting her strength and compassion.

Crystal is really passionate about staying hydrated and being active. At such a young age, she's already making a point to eat more fruits and vegetables to take care of her health. This Christmas, she would be absolutely thrilled to get this sparkly tumbler. It would be the perfect gift to help keep her drinks cold during her busy days at school and home. Having this travel cup would inspire her even more to whip up refreshing fruity drinks and keep up with her water intake. After wanting this cup for two years, just getting it would bring a huge smile to her face and motivate her to keep going on her healthy journey.
