Shopping for Alex for items to update their room
Alex, 16 years old, OR

The Lost & Found InstituteAlex is a fun-loving and adventurous person who really enjoys being outdoors. Whether skateboarding, hiking on trails, or swimming in the ocean, being outside makes Alex feel free. Their favorite thrill is cliff diving—standing at the edge, feeling the wind, and then jumping in. They love the excitement of it all, especially when it comes to roller coasters; the bigger the drop, the more they laugh! Life hasn’t always been easy for Alex. They entered the foster care system when they were just five years old after losing their mother. Since then, they have moved between different foster homes, which has made it hard for them to feel safe and settled. But Alex keeps hoping that this time, with their current placement, they might really belong somewhere and build trust with others. Despite everything they've been through, Alex is strong and resilient. They're still dreaming big, diving into new adventures, and believing that they can find stability and love in their life.
Alex is requesting a Target gift card so they can shop for new bedding essentials for their room. They hope to purchase fresh pillows, sheets, and other cozy bedding items that will make their space more comfortable and welcoming. What makes this request even more special is that Alex has never had the opportunity to choose their own bedding before. Having the opportunity to select their own pillows, sheets, and comforters, items that reflect their personality and style, would truly mean the world to them. With this support, Alex can finally create a space that feels like their own, a place where they can rest, heal, and take pride in the environment they have built for themselves. This wish was broken into two parts to allow for an amazing shopping experience! This is wish 2 of 2

"Thank you so much for this gift. Being able to use a Target gift card to pick out my own bedding—pillows, sheets, and all the cozy things—means more to me than I can really say. I’ve never had the chance to choose these things for myself before, and it feels really special to be able to pick items that actually match my personality and style. You’re not just helping me buy stuff for my room. You’re helping me create a space that feels like mine—a place where I can rest, feel safe, and be proud of what I’ve put together. Thank you for making that possible and for believing I deserve that kind of comfort."
