The Fund For Alexandria's Child

06/12/2026

Something truly special happened recently.

Charlie, an 8th grader with a huge heart, reached out to the Fund for Alexandria’s Child with a simple question: “Can I fundraise for new stuffed animals for the kids you serve?” For his 8th‑grade project at St. Stephen’s & St. Agnes School, he chose to focus on supporting foster youth — making sure they have comfort items to help with big feelings, tough transitions, and moments when they need to feel safe.

Charlie and his mom arrived with 75 large stuffed animals, including weighted ones. The joy on his face said everything. You could see how much this project meant to him.

Thank you, Charlie, for showing what compassion in action looks like. To the Fund, this means the world. To our kids, it will mean even more.
