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 would greatly benefit from a heated coat to keep her warm and cozy during the colder months. Given her struggles with asthma, anemia, and a weakened immune system, having a reliable source of warmth is essential for her comfort and well-being. Amid the recent challenges in her life, a heated coat would not only provide physical warmth but also offer her a sense of security and reassurance at home. This thoughtful gift would show her that someone truly cares, especially during this difficult time when resources are limited. By gifting Crystal a heated coat, you would acknowledge her strength and resilience, providing her with a touch of warmth and love as she continues on her journey.
