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 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 faced sleepless nights and PTSD, having lost many personal belongings and spent weeks without a stable home. She later reunited with her mom, who has had her own medical issues, including brain surgery, and has limited income. Together, they care for Crystal’s younger half-sibling and their cherished 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 is getting ready for her junior high school dance, and she is really excited about it. She would love to have hair extensions to help complete her look for the big night. Something simple like this would help her feel more confident and put-together as she gets ready for such a special event. Feeling good about herself is very important to Crystal, especially as she gets ready to spend time with her friends and make memories. With this support, she would be able to feel more confident, enjoy the night, and truly shine on the dance floor.
