Alyssa is a bright and expressive young girl who currently lives in a foster home. She entered care at age ten after her father, who had been her primary caregiver, returned to prison. Despite the challenges she’s faced, Alyssa continues to shine through her love of dance. Dancing is how she expresses herself and finds freedom from the heaviness of her past. She dreams of one day becoming a professional dancer, performing in movies or on stage at concerts, where she can share her talent and emotions with the world.

Alyssa is looking for a cute new blue shirt that feels fun, fresh, and totally reflects her style. She really needs new clothes, and this request comes from her desire to feel comfortable and confident in something new. A soft blue shirt would be perfect to brighten her wardrobe and provide the small but meaningful refresh she has been hoping for.
