Valerie, 13 years old

Wish submitted by:

Valerie was removed from her father's home after an investigation into abuse. This trauma led her to experience a significant emotional crisis. However, with resilience and strength, Valerie is now working closely with a therapist to begin her healing journey. She has been placed in a youth shelter and is making progress through therapy. Valerie enjoys spending her quiet time being creative and journaling.

Valerie has decided that she would love to get a kit to learn how to crochet. She recalls a friend teaching her the basics when she was very young, and that memory brings her comfort. Relearning this craft would offer her a peaceful and purposeful way to express herself and grow. Crocheting would provide a quiet, comforting activity as she continues her healing journey.
