Central Missouri Foster Care & Adoption Association

Alyssa is such an amazing young woman. She is so helpful with all her younger siblings and never complains. Her heart is so big for others. Alyssa is a true ray of sunshine and always has a positive attitude. Her biological parents were incarcerated, and she was placed with her aunt.

Alyssa needs professional hair clippers, which are a required tool for her cosmetology education. In cosmetology school, students must practice hair cutting, fades, and detailed clipper work, and having her own professional-grade clippers is essential for learning proper techniques and building confidence. Using quality clippers will allow Alyssa to practice consistently, stay sanitary, and meet school standards during hands-on training. Having her own set also helps her stay prepared for class and develop professional habits she’ll carry into her future career. Without reliable clippers, it’s difficult to fully participate in required lessons and skill-building.
