Lizandra is a bright and stylish young lady who loves spending time with her friends and expressing herself through fashion. She is currently in high school and is thriving in her studies, while also enjoying the normal joys of being a teenager. Life hasn’t always been easy for Lizandra. She was removed from a very difficult situation with her biological mom and stepdad, where she experienced abuse. Though she deeply misses her younger siblings, she is finding safety, stability, and love while living with her grandmother and grandfather, who take wonderful care of her. Despite the challenges she has faced, Lizandra continues to show incredible resilience. She has a kind spirit, a strong sense of style, and a hopeful outlook for her

Lizandra is a fun, active, and tall young lady who has recently discovered a love for basketball. She’s been spending time at the Boys and Girls Club after school, where staff and friends have encouraged her to play because they see great potential in her. Having a basketball hoop at home would give her the chance to practice her skills, build confidence, and stay active in a positive way. This wish would allow her to focus on something she enjoys and give her a healthy outlet to relieve stress while having fun.
