After Alice, passed away my sister was cleaning out her room when she found a storage box that contained letters & pictures of a child we didn't know. We learned that she had "adopted" a child in Ethiopia by mailing $7 a month to him. That's who she was.

We are absolutely thrilled to announce that we just received a grant for $250,000 from a foundation that wishes to remain anonymous. One of the board members heard about us when @pattonoswalt.bsky.social played for us on Celebrity Jeopardy!

"Arthur (18) is transgender, living in a very inhospitable area of Iowa. He loves music & has been in the high school's jazz band for years. He's moving due to the impending death of his adoptive mom so I'm trying to secure funds to purchase a used baritone saxophone for him." DONE

A Virginia resident sent a donation of $7.31 with this note: "I received a virtual prepaid card as part of a class action Facebook settlement. It's a random amount, but I know Alice can put it to good use." Very cool.

"Brayden has been admitted to Boston Latin School & one requirement is each student has to pick an instrument to learn throughout their high school career. He has selected the piano but his mom does not have the finances to purchase one." We were happy to pay for one!

"Zelda (18) was recently run off the road by a coal truck. Her car was totaled. Someone donated a used vehicle to help her get to & from work/school but she needs help to register the vehicle. She could use a $125 gift card to use at the DMV to pay for her title & registration fees." Done!

Daniel (15) is on the school bowling team but he's the only one who doesn't have his own ball. He often has to rent one which embarrasses him. Daniel is one of the few Latino bowlers in the district and believes he bowls for a purpose greater than himself. Can Alice pay for a new ball?" YES!

"Chelsea (13) was just accepted into the United Voices of Denver & is trying to save money to cover the travel costs." The teacher asked for $100 but when I talked to her I learned Chelsea really needed $200 but the teacher didn't want to be "greedy." We paid the $200.

"Toni (17) frequently arrives at school out of uniform. We offer her a rental but she feels embarrassed. That triggers emotional distress and behavioral outbursts. I know from personal experience how embarrassing it is to take charity. We were happy to send a gift card for new clothes.
