A laptop for Alex who has beat the odds and will be attending college in the fall!

Posted Aug 15, 2018
Having bounced around more than ten homes in her time in care, personal belongings have been few and far between for her. Alex worked incredibly hard through high school, and is ecstatic to be attending college this fall. Alex has worked hard and saved and will be paying for her school and books on her own, unfortunately, she is not able to also buy a laptop or computer to do work on. This will surely be soothing that Alex treasures forever!

Alex is 22 years old and lives in PA

Alex has been in foster care since she was 5 years old. She's bounced from home to home and, unfortunately, still does not have a permanency. Despite never having a constant support system around her Alex has excelled at school and will be attending a state college in the fall! We love Alex because of her resilience and ability to adapt to situations.
