Alexa, 18 years old

Wish submitted by:

Alexa is a lively and confident individual who has often had to raise herself throughout her life. She receives support services from the Department of Children and Family Services. Currently, Alexa works as a lash artist and has built a large clientele. Alexa aspires to become a NICU nurse one day. She is also a caring sibling and makes it a point to visit her younger half-siblings in New York whenever she can.

Alexa recently aged out of foster care and is now receiving adolescent supportive services. She works full-time in the city and enjoys her financial independence and busy urban lifestyle. Sometimes, she thinks about slowing down. Without a support system, Alexa relies heavily on formal networks and works through trust issues, which makes it hard for her to form close friendships. Despite these challenges, Alexa is kind and strong and deserves love and attention. She would enjoy receiving an Easter gift basket full of snacks and treats. Receiving this gift will show that she is cared for.
