A holiday Barbie for Martin to finally have a doll he has always dreamed of owning
Martin, 11 years old, VA
Wish submitted by:
Prominent Chapters Corp.Martin has experienced significant trauma and instability from a very young age. During his early childhood, his father attempted to seriously harm him while his sister was also experiencing sexual abuse in the home. Those experiences left Martin and his sister facing circumstances no child should have to endure. Despite what he has been through, Martin continues to move forward and deserves opportunities to be a kid, feel supported, and build positive memories. He is connected with Prominent Chapters so he can receive encouragement, practical assistance, and experiences that help bring greater stability and hope into his life.
Martin has wanted a Barbie for years, but people always told him Barbies weren’t for boys. Now that he is in a supportive environment where he is encouraged to enjoy the things that make him happy, his grandfather would love to surprise him with his very first Barbie. The 2026 Holiday Barbie would be especially meaningful and give Martin something he has wished for for a long time.
