Review for Alice's Kids, ALEXANDRIA, VA, USA
I became a volunteer with Alice's Kids about 2 years ago, and with every gift card I buy and send along to families, I feel a connection to a child. I imagine reaching out my hand to
reassure that individual that her life matters, that he is not alone. Each one can be a peer on equal terms with others. One child can go on the field trip with the rest of his class; another can buy the soccer gear, run on the field alongside her teammates; another can see the math problems on the board and raise a hand to offer the solution. I imagine finally a child's new confidence, joy at receiving one simple thing wished for.
