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 wishing for a dark teal sweater this fall because she loves the rich, calming color and how perfectly it matches the season. She imagines wearing it, sipping warm drinks. The soft fabric and cozy feel make it just what she needs for cooler weather. For Krystal, the dark teal sweater isn’t just a piece of clothing — it’s a little piece of comfort to wrap herself in.
