Alexa, 19 years old, NJ

Wish submitted by:

Alexa is an independent teenager girl who has been caring for herself for over a year now after experiencing homelessness. Alexa is strong willed, courageous, and has a strength that many children do not have. She is resourceful, kind and gentle soul who wants to help others. Alexa did not attend school due to her lack of housing but since in Division custody, Alexa has expressed that she wants to be in school, attend prom and do things that other kids her age. Alexa is deserving of so much more than she has received in life and she rarely asks for anything. She would be so grateful for this opportunity to learn a new and valuable life skill.

Alexa loves to wear baggy and loose clothing. She is in need of t-shirts to stay fresh and clean this summer. Alexa enjoys being outside and spending time with her friends. This summer she is looking forward to swimming and enjoying the weather.
