Christina, 50 years old, MO | 9 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Christina is a woman of resilience, faith, and strength. Her personal journey through foster care, medical challenges, trauma, and recovery inspires others to face their own battles with courage and perseverance. Christina raised three children as a single mother, and now has three beautiful grandchildren. She is now a bestselling author, motivational speaker, and artist. Christina has never stopped advocating for foster youth and is building a nonprofit to provide foster kids with backpacks full of essentials, ensuring they never have to carry their belongings in trash bags. Christina hopes to grow her nonprofit and continue motivational speaking to motivate others to live out their dreams.

Music has always been more than entertainment for Christina. It's how she's healed, relaxed, decompressed, and danced her way through some of the hardest moments in her life. She's dreamed of having a record player for a long time, not just to play music but to experience it the way she's always imagined, dropping the needle, hearing that warm vintage crackle, and holding the album art in her hands while the whole room fills with sound. Right now, that dream is out of reach financially, and receiving a record player would let Christina bring that experience into her everyday life, giving her music the space and ritual it's always deserved.
