Alex, who aged out of foster care, lives independently with their rescue dog, Luna, who has been a constant source of companionship and joy. Passionate about dog training and sports like Fast CAT, Alex thrives on helping Luna develop new skills while building their own confidence. In their downtime, Alex immerses themselves in painting, photography, and sewing—creative outlets that allow them to express their unique perspective on the world. With a curious mind, Alex is fascinated by topics like forensics, marine biology, and geology, constantly exploring new interests that fuel their personal growth. Alex’s story is one of resilience, creativity, and a deep love for both their passions and their beloved companion.

Alex is a determined college student and a proud alumnus of the foster care system. This summer, they are moving back into the dorms and are hoping for some support to make campus life more comfortable. During their last move, Alex’s old mattress pad ripped apart, so they are in need of a new one. A quality mattress pad that can be easily rolled up for dorm transitions would make a significant difference. Dorm beds are notoriously uncomfortable, and for Alex—who has worked hard to build a stable life after foster care—a good night’s sleep is essential for staying focused, healthy, and prepared to take on the semester.
