A couple of sweaters for Crystal to get through the winter months

Posted Jan 19, 2025
Crystal is in urgent need of warm clothing for the winter months. She is an incredible young lady who rarely asks for much despite facing challenging times that would have overwhelmed anyone her age. Crystal has endured significant trauma, including escaping a devastating house fire that destroyed her home and claimed the lives of some close relatives. Even in the face of painful flashbacks, she manages to keep a smile on her face. As her family works hard to adjust to their new home after losing everything, Crystal has lost her winter clothes in the process. A couple of warm sweaters would not only help protect her from getting sick during the chilly months ahead but would also provide her with a sense of comfort and warmth. Recently, Crystal spotted some warm, durable sweaters on her favorite shopping site and dreams of collecting trendy pieces to wear as she travels to school each day.

Crystal is 13 years old and lives in NJ

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 September 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 now faces sleepless nights and PTSD, having lost many personal belongings and spent weeks without a stable home. Recently, she reunited with her mom, who is recovering from brain surgery and has limited income. Together, they care for Crystal’s younger half-sibling and their cherished six-year-old 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.
