Aleah is such an inspiring and resilient person! She grew up in the foster care system, moving between different group homes, but she never let that stop her. Now, she’s a loving mom to two kids, showing incredible strength and determination every day. Aleah’s journey has really sparked her ambition to create a brighter future for her family and give back to her community. As she pursues her dreams in business school, she’s excited to learn new skills that will not only help her succeed but also lift up those around her.

Aleah is excited to host a fun Build-a-Bear-style workshop for kids at her local library! She wants to create a joyful and interactive experience where children can build their very own stuffed animals and give them a special voice. To make this event even more memorable, Aleah is hoping to get a 50-pack of Multi-Message Voice Recorders. These little gadgets let each child record a personalized message to tuck inside their plush creations. With 60 seconds of recording time, they’re just like the ones used in commercial stuffed animal kits, like those at Build-A-Bear Workshop!
