A MP3 Player for Alex who loves listening to his music

Posted Jul 24, 2019
Alex uses music to calm down and help him ignore negative behavior around by others. Music helps to distract and calm, and avoid arguing or fighting or any other negative behaviors of his own in response. Alex received a MP3 player recently from one of our wonderful donors, but unfortunately it was stolen and found broken. Alex was devastated. We would love to surprise him with a new one!

Alexander is 16 years old and lives in NJ

Alexander is a bright child who loves to sing and dance. He has struggled with bullying due to his sexual orientation and is working very hard on learning to manage emotional reactions and increase his sense of self-worth. He is a delight to be around but unfortunately his anger has resulted in the need for out of home placement as his mother is unable to manage him at home. Given an enriching environment and access to treatment daily he is thriving and working on building resiliency and coping skills that will take him successfully through life. He loves singing, dancing, magic, and is learning to play basketball.
