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 urgently needs warm clothing for the winter months. While she prioritizes comfort over style, she always likes to ensure she looks nice in whatever she wears. A dark gray sweater is exactly what she needs, and it is the perfect piece to keep her cozy on those frigid cold days in New Jersey!
