Lakers Tickets for Alex to take his brother for Christmas

Posted Dec 9, 2019
Alex is extremely family oriented and the holidays have been serving as a constant reminder that he will not be able to see his family this Christmas. Alex loves basketball and has never been to a basketball game. This gift will allow Alex to bond with his little brother while also giving him the opportunity to see his favorite team in action!

Alex is 17 years old and lives in CA

Alex is a great little guy who has been in and out of foster care for the last couple of years. Alex enjoys spending time with family and friends. He is extremely active and uses sports as a coping mechanism to dealing with separation due to being in foster care. Despite having insecurities regarding being reunified with his birth mom, Alex also has a smile on his face. He prides himself on bringing joy to others especially his little brother.
