It’s acts of compassion like this that remind our clients they’re seen, supported, and surrounded by a community that cares. 🤗

Today, we want to extend a heartfelt thank you to Crystal Kyer for her incredible generosity and strength. 🙌

In honor of her daughter, who tragically lost her battle, Crystal brings donation baskets to Lauren’s Wish each year on her daughter’s anniversary. 🪽

This act of kindness not only honors her daughter’s memory but also brings comfort and hope to others who are still fighting for their lives. 💜

These baskets are more than donations — they’re a symbol of love, remembrance, and the power of turning pain into purpose. 🌻

From all of us at Lauren’s Wish, thank you, Crystal, for continuing to share your light and compassion with our clients and staff. Your daughter’s legacy lives on through every life you touch. 🌟
