Crystal, 14 years old, NJ |

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 faced sleepless nights and PTSD, having lost many personal belongings and spent weeks without a stable home. She later reunited with her mom, who has had her own medical issues, including brain surgery, and has limited income. Together, they care for Crystal’s younger half-sibling and their cherished 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.

This Christmas, Crystal could really use a bed in a bag to create a cozy space to rest. After everything she's been through, having a complete bedding set would help her feel warm and secure. It’s a thoughtful gift that shows someone cares about her during a tough time when she might not have a lot. Giving her this bed in a bag would be a nice reminder of her strength and resilience, providing her with some comfort and love as she moves forward.
