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 spending time with her family. This year has been tough, but she has worked hard to boost her confidence and value herself. A nice lavender sheet set would mean a lot to her, especially as it would complement the cozy furry blanket set she received as a gift. Having these sheets would not only enhance her comfort but also serve as a reminder of her strength and self-worth. Receiving this gift would brighten her Christmas and fill her with joy, showcasing the love and support that surrounds her.
