Thanks to Alice’s Kids, a 12-year-old boy with severe asthma received a humidifier that has already made a big difference in his life. Living in a crowded, low-income household, his asthma symptoms were made worse by a moldy AC unit, leaving him coughing and struggling to sleep at night. With a $50 Amazon gift card, his family was able to purchase a humidifier, and he proudly showed it off next to his bed. He shared that he’s coughing less and breathing easier, while his mother expressed relief that he is now sleeping without complications. This small gift has brought comfort, stability, and better health to a child who excels in school despite many challenges. His family is deeply grateful, and this support has provided them with hope during a difficult time.

In Chicopee, MA, an 11-year-old autistic student and his mother have been living in a motel after losing their home. The transition was especially difficult for him, who struggles with change and no longer had space to create his beloved art. When Alice’s Kids provided him with a desk, he was overwhelmed with joy, asking, “Why did a stranger buy this for me?” Since then, he comes home every day eager to sit at his desk, drawing maps and safety plans, and proudly sharing his work. His mother says this gift has lifted his spirits, giving him hope and helping him feel less sad about their situation. Something as simple as a desk has brought stability, comfort, and renewed happiness to a child navigating great challenges.
