Cristel, 7 years old, KS | NEEDED BY 01/30

Wish submitted by:

Cristel is one of four children from a single-parent home due to her father's incarceration. Their mother is doing a commendable job, but she gave birth to the fourth child shortly after the father went to jail. She works part-time, and a family member takes care of the baby while she is at work. Cristel is exceptionally intelligent, reading at a third-grade level, and she is significantly ahead of her peers in social and emotional learning. She consistently excels as a student and sets a wonderful example of how to be a successful learner each day. Cristel loves art, music, dolls, and playing dress-up with her sisters. Despite the challenging circumstances the family faces, Cristel never complains.

There is no better feeling than being celebrated on your birthday! This wish will provide Cristel with an extra surprise to open on their special day. Although their celebrations may look different this year, it will remind them that they are valued and remembered on this important occasion!
