Alice S., 32 years old, RI

Alice grew up in foster care and values connection, creativity, and generosity. Her friends are her chosen family, and she dedicates herself to creating meaningful experiences with them, whether through cooking elaborate meals, hosting craft days, dancing, or planning small adventures together. She enjoys cooking, crafting, swimming, and dancing, and finds joy in learning new skills and hobbies. What makes Alice uniquely herself is her kindness and quirky spirit. Holidays, especially Christmas, hold deep significance for her. After losing the only family she had during that time of year, Alice consciously efforts to create joy and warmth for her friends by hosting cookie-making days, ornament-making gatherings, and establishing traditions designed to provide the love and support she once lacked. Alice continues to lead with her heart, building community, celebrating others, and turning creativity and care into the family she chooses every day.
