Kendall, 12 years old, NJ | NEEDED BY 09/05

Wish submitted by:

Kendall is a remarkable young girl who has faced significant challenges in her life. Due to her mother’s struggles with mental health, her grandmother took on the responsibility of raising her to prevent her from entering the foster care system. Unfortunately, Kendall's mother may never regain her role due to serious circumstances that affected both Kendall and her sibling. Kendall herself has developed challenges requiring frequent therapy and suffering from night terrors. Despite it all, she is a shy, sweet girl with a creative spirit. She enjoys drawing, cooking, playing video games, and watching movies. Kendall expresses herself beautifully and loves giving hugs and creating heartfelt cards for others.

Kendall is preparing to start school next month and hopes to have a backpack in one of her favorite colors. A stylish backpack would boost her confidence and excitement as she embarks on this new school year. Getting her a backpack in her favorite color would not only bring a smile to her face but also encourage her as she navigates the challenges of growing up.
