Alyssa is a bright and expressive young girl who currently lives in a foster home. She entered care at age ten after her father, who had been her primary caregiver, returned to prison. Despite the challenges she’s faced, Alyssa continues to shine through her love of dance. Dancing is how she expresses herself and finds freedom from the heaviness of her past. She dreams of one day becoming a professional dancer, performing in movies or on stage at concerts, where she can share her talent and emotions with the world.

Alyssa wants a pair of pink UGG slippers to wear at home. She loves how soft they are and looks forward to slipping them on after dance practice or before bed. The pink slippers will make her feel calm and cozy, reminding her of simple comfort. UGG slippers are the perfect way for her to unwind and enjoy her downtime.
