Alexis, 17 years old, MO | 1 DAY WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Alexis is living in foster care with her twin brother, and they share a very close bond. Over the years, Alexis has struggled in school, but she continues to try her hardest and is currently doing well. She is a big fan of country music, with her favorite artist being Ella Langley. Alexis loves to sing along whenever she hears her songs. She is a sweet girl who is generally quiet, but she isn’t afraid to speak up when she feels wronged.

Alexis has been working incredibly hard to gain her foster parents’ trust, and they are proud of the progress she has made. Because of her maturity, responsibility, and positive choices, they feel she is ready for her very first cell phone. Having a phone will give Alexis a sense of independence while also helping her stay connected with her foster family, friends, and other important supports in her life. Her foster parents have carefully selected a phone that includes a variety of safety features and parental controls designed to help keep Alexis safe while she learns to navigate this new responsibility. This phone will allow Alexis to build confidence and independence while still providing the structure and protection she needs to be successful.
