"Tanya used her gift card to buy wrestling gear for this season: wrestling shoes, head gear & knee pads. This is a great opportunity to build positive relationships with her teammates. She's new to the school, so any opportunity to get out of her comfort zone & expand her social circle is great!"

"Thanks for paying for a 'day out' for Mom and Elisa (14). Mom said her girl had so much fun getting her first pedicure/manicure. I can report, as her social worker, that Elisa now seems more confident & says she feels more 'put together.' That's everything we want from our young adults!!"

Many immigrants in this country - documented or undocumented - are facing great uncertainty these days. To be clear: when we receive a request to help a child, we do not ask about their legal status.

"Recall a student in our school was being bullied because she wore a hiyab, then a student ripped it off of her head. Alice's Kids was kind enough to pay for a new one and she is now back in school and has even joined a new club! Thank you so much for lifting this child at a very difficult time."

Happy New Year! For our new followers, when you see a story in quotations, it means the words came straight from the teacher or social worker. These are real children. And if we post a picture, rest assured that we've take many precautions to insure the child's identity is not revealed.
