Alyssa, 16 years old, OR | 20 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

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 hoping for a new pair of tennis shoes. A reliable and comfortable pair will boost her confidence, making her ready for hectic days—from moving between activities to engaging in various adventures. Your support can help Alyssa kick off her journey with comfort, readiness, and enthusiasm for all the adventures that await!
