BCFS

Alex entered the foster care system at the age of one and has faced many transitions throughout his life. Despite the challenges of moving through multiple placements, he has remained strong, hardworking, loyal, and dependable. His determination to build a better future motivates him to keep moving forward and create stability for himself. Alex enjoys playing video games and reading comics during his free time, finding comfort and creativity in these hobbies. He describes himself as an outstanding person who genuinely cares about others—especially friends and individuals living in shelters, as he once did. His compassion drives his dream of becoming a truck driver, where he hopes to deliver goods and essentials to those in need, continuing to help others while building a meaningful career.

Alex deserves a laptop because it would be a valuable tool to help him achieve his goals and stay on track toward a better future. Having grown up in the foster care system, Alex has had to overcome many challenges, often without consistent access to resources. A laptop would allow him to complete job applications, study for his commercial driver’s license (CDL), and explore training opportunities to become a truck driver. Additionally, it would help him stay connected with supportive networks, access online learning, and manage important documents as he transitions into adulthood. With his hardworking and dependable nature, Alex would use the laptop responsibly to continue improving his skills and working toward his dream of helping others.
