When an important Family member’s birthday rolls around, do you know exactly what to get them? Do you find something that really suits them, or make something personal?
Perhaps your loved one would appreciate a gift of service, time or an experience. Choosing the perfect present requires skill and insight, both things that 14-year-old Alecia had in spades when it came to choosing something for her foster dad.

The teen, from Haleyville, Alabama, has known Daniel Donaldson since 2019, when he was her coach.
Donaldson is a youth sports coach and has three kids of his own, but when he heard Alecia’s story and the troubles she’d faced in the foster care system, he and his wife Tiffany welcomed her into their home.
The teen quickly became a part of the Family, and when Donaldson’s birthday came around this year, she knew just what she wanted to give him.
