A pair of sneakers for Alana to feel confident on campus

Posted Oct 21, 2024
Alana is a resilient first-generation college student at Kutztown University, determined to succeed despite the challenges she has faced, including becoming an unaccompanied youth during high school. Although she is fully supported by scholarships for her education, Alana has struggled to afford the essentials, especially as she works toward purchasing her first reliable used car. These Adidas sneakers would provide her with both comfort and confidence as she navigates her busy days on campus and at work, trying to make ends meet.

Alana is 18 years old and lives in PA

Alana is an academically determined first-generation college student with an undeclared major. Despite facing numerous hardships, including becoming an unaccompanied youth during high school, she has shown remarkable perseverance and resilience. Currently, she is enrolled at Kutztown University, fully funded by scholarships. Alana firmly believes that with a positive outlook, anything is possible. However, she is navigating challenges, particularly in affording school essentials. One of her goals is to purchase her first reliable used car to help her travel to work and manage her responsibilities, as she has no one to rely on for support.
