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.

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.
