"Your Dream | Online Community for Women

Seventeen-year-old Allyson Ahlstrom is the founder and CEO of the non-profit organization Threads for Teens. Since 2010 (when Allyson was just 14 years-old!), this amazing organization has been providing new clothing to impoverished teen girls and teen girls in foster care at absolutely no cost. Threads for Teens has enabled over 250 girls to have a dream shopping experience, with the goal of boosting their self-esteem and encouraging them to live their dreams.

Since then, Threads for Teens has expanded and is now taking it on the road! On May 29, 2013, Allyson will take Threads for Teens on a summer-long journey across the continental US in a semi-truck outfitted as a mobile boutique. Her goal is to provide 1,000 deserving girls with a new outfit. Twenty girls from each city Allyson visits will receive one brand-new outfit and a confidence boost to boot! Threads for Teens will be working with CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate) National as the official organization from which girls come to shop.

Allyson needs support to make her journey a success—your support.

She will need assistance with the following:

• Scheduling appointments with girls from the local CASA
• Providing light snacks for the girls (mini sandwiches, fruit, etc.)
• Contacting local boutiques to ask for donations
• Reaching out to local media with supplied press releases
