Alyssa, 33 years old, CO

Wish submitted by:

Alyssa is a kind, caring, and highly artistic woman. She is autistic, which makes social situations and managing anxiety challenging for her, but she channels these experiences into creating incredible artwork. Having experienced foster care in her youth, she has a deep understanding of resilience. Now, as a devoted mother of three beautiful children, Alyssa has decided to return to college to pursue a degree in social work. Although school presents its challenges, she is determined to graduate and hopes to relocate to a new area where she has never lived before, seeking a fresh start for herself and her kids, along with a new outlook on life. Alyssa loves the outdoors and dreams of living somewhere with more trees and cooler temperatures.

Alyssa is counting down the days till her new 4-legged service companion comes home. She has been working at getting her house all ready to welcome her new furry friend and is in dire need of a dog crate for her to be able to not only crate train her companion, but to also offer it a place of safety and comfort. She knows potty training will be a challenge and has heard crate training is one of the best ways to accomplish this.
