RECIPIENT STORY

Alyssa Enjoys the Outdoors

Alyssa loves the things any other child her age does – nature, the outdoors, and playing outside. However, Alyssa shows signs of global development delay, and while she can comprehend what happens in the environment around her, she is unable to interact the way someone her age normally would. Enabling Alyssa to experience the things that bring her joy takes planning and preparation. She needs constant supervision while playing and being outdoors. Riding a bike was a dream for Alyssa, and with the help of a grant from Dayforce Cares, it became a reality.

Dayforce Cares provided funding for Alyssa to receive a custom-made tricycle that allows her to ‘drive’, while giving ultimate control to steer and stop the bike when required to another individual. The tricycle provides Alyssa the ability to enjoy the outdoors and live her dream of riding a bicycle, all while keeping her safety in mind. She’s thrilled with her new-found freedom!
