Alyssa, 33 years old, CO

Wish submitted by:

Alyssa is a kind, caring, and highly artistic woman. She is autistic, which makes social situations and managing anxiety challenging for her, but she channels these experiences into creating incredible artwork. Having experienced foster care in her youth, she has a deep understanding of resilience. Now, as a devoted mother of three beautiful children, Alyssa has decided to return to college to pursue a degree in social work. Although school presents its challenges, she is determined to graduate and hopes to relocate to a new area where she has never lived before, seeking a fresh start for herself and her kids, along with a new outlook on life. Alyssa loves the outdoors and dreams of living somewhere with more trees and cooler temperatures.

Alyssa loves adventuring and enjoys passing along amazing memories to her children to experience. This summer, Alyssa has planned a fun little getaway for their family and would love to be able to create some fun memories with her children. During this adventure, they are going to enjoy the beach and the kids will get to see the ocean for the first time! While they are there they would love to explore San Diego and all the amazing places such as the Zoo, Legoland, and the Aquarium. Her kids have never left Colorado and this is a trip they are so excited for. Since Alyssa grew up in foster care she never got to experience or create these memories with her own parents so she wants to ensure that her children get to have amazing memories and experiences together as a family!
