A Shopping Spree for Alexandria who can not wait to start her new job

Posted Dec 3, 2020
Like so many of us, 2020 has been an especially difficult year for Alexandria who lost two jobs this year due to COVID-19. On top of the job insecurity, she also went through a very difficult time personally, with her partner unexpectedly leaving. Not only did this leave a void in her heart, but it also created additional financial burden that Alexandria did not have time to budget for. Being the fighter that she is, Alexandria was able to secure a new job and is once again doing everything she can to stay positive and keep moving forward. She was recently accepted into a leadership fellowship program that she would absolutely love to be a part of, however, the program fee is just out of reach for Alexandria since she is just starting her new job. Having support through One Simple Wish would allow Alexandria to attend this once and a lifetime program, that she totally deserves!

Alexandria is 31 years old and lives in KS

Alexandria entered the foster care system at a young age due to early adverse experiences. Throughout her time in foster care Alexandria moved between homes and groups several times, but throughout it all, she was able to find a forever home. In finding her forever home, she was able to transition out of care and become an advocate for change - helping to spark change in the foster care system. She went on to obtain her high school diploma, bachelor’s and then master’s degree. Alexandria’s goal is to continue to advocate for those in foster care with the hope of establishing a center where foster youth would have access to tutoring, mentoring and assistance for future college admissions. Not only does she advocate for change through the foster care system but also change within other communities that have faced injustice. Some of Alexandria's hobbies include reading, cooking, traveling, educating herself on new topics and spending time with her family. What makes Alexandria herself is the ability to learn, grow, develop and give back to her community. She believes in investing time and knowledge into the younger generation.
