Ali is an amazing person who has faced such a challenging home life with grace and resilience. She is both smart and hardworking, demonstrating intelligence in everything she does. As an older sister, she is exceptional, always putting others' needs above hers. Ali's beautiful heart and strong character make her a gift to everyone in her life. Despite her difficult circumstances, she works hard every day to stay happy and kindhearted, which is truly remarkable for someone who has dealt with so much.

Despite the many challenges that life has presented to Ali and her sister, they are always appreciative of any support and love that is shared with them. They are being raised by a neighbor who gives these girls all that she possibly can. Ali was hesitant to admit that she really wanted a pair of trendy sneakers to help with her concerns about fitting in at her new school. Picking out a new pair of shoes will be such a thrill for Ali.
