A new bedding set for Alexa who is living independently

Posted Feb 27, 2018
Alexa furnished her apartment (she has her own room but shares a kitchen and living room with other students) with donated items (blankets, towels, hangers, kitchen items, etc). She is proud that she is living independently and also painted her room with donated paint. Most if not all of her income goes towards her rent, groceries, and phone bills. She does not have the extra money for the full-size bedding that she needs.

Alexa is 24 years old and lives in NC

Alexa is a mature, articulate college student who has struggled financially and emotionally since aging out of foster care in July of last year. Alexa is highly motivated girl. She graduated at age 16 from high school while earning college credits. She did this while being the primary person raising her four siblings. She worries constantly about her four younger siblings who remain in foster care. She had a large hand in raising them and was in many ways the only true “mother figure”, especially for the two youngest. She is attending college, living on her own and works in retail to make ends meet. At work, she loves getting to know to customers and anticipating their needs. She works hard, asks very little from anyone and is very grateful for anything she receives.
