Alisson, 19 years old, CA |

Wish submitted by:

Alisson is a motivated and resilient young adult who entered the foster care system at an early age and has continued to demonstrate strength, independence, and perseverance throughout her journey. She balances a busy schedule that includes both work and school, showing responsibility and determination as she manages multiple priorities and works toward long-term stability. Alisson maintains a positive outlook and appears in good spirits while juggling her responsibilities. She benefits from a supportive network of friends and family who encourage her academic pursuits and provide motivation when needed. While she values her independence, she appreciates having access to resources and support systems and knows when to reach out for assistance.

Alisson’s Christmas wish is to celebrate her birthday in February with a trip to Disneyland, a place that represents joy, fun, and a chance to truly relax and feel carefree. Having entered the foster care system at an early age, she has spent much of her life balancing responsibilities and overcoming challenges, often putting her own enjoyment on hold. A day at Disney would give Alisson the opportunity to create happy, lasting memories, celebrate how far she has come, and experience a moment of joy and celebration she truly deserves.
