Alice's Kids

Today, about 800 seniors at 6 schools in #Altadena will see this message from our friend Steve Carell - he's delivering the news that we're paying for their prom tickets! #philanthropy #lawildfires #stevecarell #theoffice #california

"Toby (10) is very bright but has some social anxiety. He has experienced several adverse childhood events & often has gastrological concerns. He has frequent bathroom accidents at school so he needs new clothing, shoes and undergarments. Could Alice help?" We sent a $150 Target gift card.

Alice's Kids is a national charity that provides financial assistance to children in need without shaming them. We pay for the "small" items that are still important to that child: prom tickets, field trips, school uniforms, glasses, camps & many other items. www.aliceskids.org

Just another thank you to our friend, @pattonoswalt.bsky.social, for donating $10,000 to us via his appearance on the Great American Baking Show!!

Julie Derrickson, one of our supporters in Delaware, recently chatted with our friend Patton Oswalt @pattonoswalt.bsky.social about our work at his book signing!

"Jace (10) is autistic & and is now taking Risperdal. Within 3 months, he gained over 25 pounds. While he's trying to stay active, the fact is that none of his clothes fit him anymore. The family is not in a position to afford any new clothes. Would Alice pay for a gift card?" YES

Latest stats...

"Selena's (6) Mom passed away suddenly last year & the anniversary is coming up soon. I would like to get her a teddy bear made with his mother's picture on it. She is struggling & is having behavioral issues. I feel that this will help her feel better." We sent a gift card.

"Jay (15) has been coming to school in dirty, torn pants for the past week & his shoe has a large rip in it. While he tries to brush off the comments of others, he just told me 'anyone would be mad about having to leave the house like this.' Would Alice pay for new pants & athletic gear?." Done!

"Liz need a sun umbrella, a handheld fan, cotton dresses & detergent. She has psoriasis and does not come to school because she's worried she will get teased & she can't sweat on the walk home. These items will help her greatly & get her back to school." We paid for the items.

"Ramon (15) & his brother migrated to CA to flee gangs in Mexico. But they both were labor trafficked until their aunt rescued them. Still, Ramon is the definition of resilience. His passion is car mechanics & he'd like to take some courses but they cost $150." We paid for the courses.

We've been on vacation this week, thus no posts. We'll be back on Monday!!

"Our son just got a pair of shoe inserts thanks to Alice. He completed his last chemo & is now lifting weights & running. He was so excited when the inserts came in, he immediately put them in a pair of shoes and wore them! We so appreciate what your organization has done/is doing."
