Alvin, 9 years old, CA

Wish submitted by:

Alvin is a bright, caring young boy who loves being at school with his friends. He is energetic, but he always takes the time to check on others when he notices someone is struggling. Life at home brings challenges, yet Alvin steps up without hesitation. He helps care for his younger siblings and takes responsibilities beyond his years. His thoughtfulness and compassion speak to the strong character he displays every day. Devon receives support from the Department of Children and Family Services.

Alvin is the first boy in his family, so he doesn't have an older brother's hand-me-downs. As a result, sweaters and jackets are hard to come by. As he grows, his clothes no longer fit him as quickly as his family can replace them. Warm layers are important for Alvin. He needs jackets and sweaters that are appropriately sized for his growing body to stay comfortable at school and outdoors.
