Krystal, 17 years old, OR

Wish submitted by:

Krystal has faced many challenges in her life, starting from being placed in foster care as a baby. She was adopted twice, hoping to find a loving home, but both adoptions fell through, leaving her feeling like she didn’t belong. Now, she’s in a treatment facility, working on her emotional and psychological issues. Despite the tough journey, Krystal is focused on healing. Drawing is one of the few things that brings her peace; it allows her to escape her struggles and express her feelings. Through art, she finds purpose and strength to keep moving forward, one drawing at a time.

Krystal is interested in a blow-up paddle board to use while hiking to lakes. As someone who enjoys spending time in nature and exploring new trails, she often discovers hidden alpine lakes and peaceful bodies of water tucked away in the mountains. A traditional paddle board is too bulky to carry on long hikes, but a lightweight, inflatable one would be the perfect solution—easy to pack, set up, and use. Having an inflatable paddle board would allow her to connect even more deeply with nature, giving her the opportunity to paddle out onto quiet lakes, relax on the water, and fully enjoy the serenity of each destination she reaches. Whether adventuring solo or with friends, the paddle board would enhance her summer outdoor experiences and help create unforgettable memories.
