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 cozy pair of platform Ugg slippers to keep her feet warm and comfortable during the colder months. After the recent upheaval in her life, having soft slippers would not only provide warmth but also create a sense of security and comfort in her home. This thoughtful gift would serve as a reminder that someone truly cares for her during this challenging time when resources are limited. By giving Crystal a pair of Ugg slippers, it would show her that her strength and resilience haven't gone unnoticed and would offer a little extra comfort and love as she continues on her journey.
