Valley Youth House

Alyssa is a bright, respectful young lady residing in an Independent Living Program. She has been in the foster care system for many years and has shown incredible strength in the face of life’s challenges. Alyssa is passionate about helping others and has a unique career goal; she plans to attend college to study mortuary science. Her interest in this field reflects her deep sense of empathy and desire to provide comfort to families during difficult times.

Alyssa wishes to have a Polaroid Instant camera so she can capture special memories and print out the photos to decorate her room and locker at school. She imagines filling her walls with pictures of her friends, family, and unforgettable moments. Having these tangible memories will remind her of all the fun times she's enjoyed. Plus, it will add a personal touch to her space, making it feel more like home.
