Valerie, 14 years old, NJ

Wish submitted by:

Valerie faced a difficult chapter in her life when she was removed from her father's home due to an investigation into abuse. This traumatic experience deeply affected her, leading to a significant emotional crisis. In her quest for healing, Valerie has been working closely with a therapist, taking steps toward recovery. During her quiet moments, she finds solace in creativity and journaling, which help her navigate her emotions and express herself.

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.
