Shane heard about the Alyssa Alvin Foundation for Hope through other young adults staying at RMH in Winfield. They shared the Gift Recipient Program with Shane and the rest is history. Shane completed and submitted his gift request on August 22, 2016.
On Sunday, August 28th, Vince, an AAFH board member and Alyssa’s brother, returned to RMH in Winfield and delivered Shane’s new maroon Beats. Shane was talkative with Vince and very thankful to the Alyssa Alvin Foundation for Hope Team for the gift.
