Billy grew up in foster care, moving from one place to another and never quite feeling at home. Each new move meant new rules, schools, and people, which made him tired and frustrated. He learned not to get too comfortable because things could change at any moment. But there was one thing he always loved: being outside. Running, climbing, and feeling the wind made him feel free and happy. Now, for the first time in a long while, Billy is in a foster home where he can stay for a bit. He’s starting to feel a bit normal with a routine and friendly faces at the dinner table. He knows he has a cozy bed to return to every night. He spends his days outside, playing basketball, riding his bike, and running just for the fun of it.

Billy is asking for an Alexa alarm clock to help him wake up for school on time. He wants to be more responsible and start handling his own routine without needing constant reminders. With an Alexa device, he can set alarms by himself, check the time, hear the weather, and even play music while he gets ready. It would give him more independence and help him stay on schedule each day. Billy is excited about the idea of having something in his room that helps him get up and ready for school all on his own.
