Kristy, 21 years old, OR

Wish submitted by:

Kristy grew up bouncing from one placement to another after entering foster care when someone discovered that she and her siblings were being abused. Her childhood was marked by constant change, uncertainty, and the emotional weight of being separated from familiarity and stability. Each new home brought its own challenges, forcing Kristy to adapt quickly while carrying the trauma of her early experiences. Despite the instability, she learned resilience at a young age and developed a deep awareness of the struggles faced by children like herself within the foster care system. Through everything she endured, Kristy discovered the power of words and storytelling. She dreams of becoming a journalist and an author, using her voice to bring attention to stories that are often overlooked or misunderstood. Kristy wants to share the experiences of people like her—those who have survived abuse, displacement, and loss—so their voices can be heard and their truths acknowledged. By telling these stories, she hopes to create understanding, inspire change, and remind others that their experiences matter.

Kristy wants a new bra that feels comfortable, supportive, and makes her feel good about herself every day. With everything she juggles, having something that fits well and feels nice against her skin really boosts her confidence. She’s looking for something practical but also a bit special—a reminder that she deserves to feel good inside and out. For Kristy, this is more than just clothing; it’s about taking care of herself and embracing her worth in the little things.
