Crystal, 14 years old, NJ |

Wish submitted by:

Crystal is truly one of a kind. As an awesome big sister with a deep love for animals, she aspires to become a veterinarian. In September 2024, her life changed dramatically when she and her dad narrowly escaped a devastating fire that claimed two loved ones. Though they suffered minor burns, Crystal now faces sleepless nights and PTSD, having lost many personal belongings and spent weeks without a stable home. Recently, she reunited with her mom, who is recovering from brain surgery and has limited income. Together, they care for Crystal’s younger half-sibling and their cherished six-year-old dog. Despite the challenges, Crystal finds joy in playing with her dog, going to the movies, and making jewelry. Her favorite color is blue, and she has a special fondness for Hello Kitty. Through it all, Crystal’s resilience and spirit shine brightly, reflecting her strength and compassion.

As Christmas approaches, Crystal looks forward to gathering with her loved ones. This year, she has faced many challenges, but she remains committed to building her confidence and valuing her self-worth. A gel nail polish kit would mean the world to her, serving not just as a tool for personal care, but as a symbol of creativity and self-expression. It would lift her spirits and help her embrace her beauty and talent. Fulfilling this wish would truly brighten her Christmas, bringing her immense joy and warmth on this special day.
