Preferred Family Healthcare

Alicia is a young woman who has unfortunately fallen through the cracks of the foster care system. Feeling forgotten, she struggles with her self-worth and the coping skills typical of young adults. After being moved around repeatedly for years, Alicia has never truly learned the meaning of stability or the essentials of becoming an independent adult. Despite her challenges, she is a sweet and polite young lady who is eager to please and willing to do anything you ask of her. She is simply looking for someone to give her a chance in the short time she has left in care before she must fend for herself.

Alicia struggles to use a manual can opener, and they don't seem to last long before breaking. She is requesting an electric can opener to make meal preparation easier for herself. This item will also accompany her when she leaves care, helping her get a good start as she begins to live independently.
