Wish submitted by:

Children Youth and Families Department

Alexis was in tribal care and recently aged out. She plans to enroll in the EMS program and begin a career in the medical field. In her spare time, she enjoys spending time with her family, playing basketball, and doing arts and crafts. She recently moved back to the Zuni Pueblo Indian reservation and is actively learning her language and traditions. Alexis is intelligent, kind, and resilient. She is not letting the trauma of her childhood get her down, she is determined to make her dreams come true!

Alexis' old phone has been damaged and is no longer functional. She is requesting a new phone to ensure she can maintain communication with her doctors and keep track of her appointments. Staying in constant contact with her caseworker is also essential for her, and having a new phone would be incredibly helpful in managing these important communications.
