Review for Alice's Kids, ALEXANDRIA, VA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I am a teacher in Eastern Oregon in an economically depressed town, so needs abound, but I have one little student who really needed some individual and special attention. Since COVID-19 disrupted our school year, I felt that something had to be done, especially after making a home delivery and seeing the conditions that are this student's home. I initially applied for a grant through the Union and though some of what I was requesting was coverable under their grant, some things weren't, like the art supplies this little one needs to express feelings and deal with emotions. There's no room for these types of things in the family budget, but thanks to Alice's Kids, this sweet little soul can now have the tools needed to express feelings and creativity that otherwise wouldn't, and haven't, been there. Taking care of a child's emotions and providing that child with an outlet for feelings is an investment in the future for everyone. This organization is a blessing to teachers and students and families! Thank you to Alice's Kids and Mr. Fitzsimmons a million thank yous for the quick and generous response, even adapting to the current COVID-19 situation!
