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.

Crystal looks forward to spending time with her family this holiday and winter season. This year has been tough, but she has worked hard to boost her confidence and value herself. A cozy fleece top would mean a lot to her, enhancing her wardrobe while reminding her of her strength. Wearing it would lift her spirits and serve as a reminder of her beauty and potential. Receiving this gift would brighten her winter and fill her with joy, showing her the love and support that surround her.
