VA DSS - Chesapeake City County

Alexis is a smart young lady who was placed in foster care without her three siblings. She loves to read and make up her own stories. Alexis has been through a lot of trauma but has not allowed that to define her.

Alexis is currently pursuing her studies in cosmetology at the local community college, with dreams of opening her own hair salon after graduation and obtaining her license. To enhance her academic experience, she requested a rolling briefcase to help carry her school books and laptop. Balancing her full-time studies and weekend shifts as a waitress, the briefcase would not only provide practical support but also boost her emotional well-being. By alleviating some financial stress, this thoughtful gift would foster a sense of normalcy and belonging, reinforcing her dedication to her education and ultimately improving her academic performance.
