Eli is a curious, observant, and sweet boy. He previously lived with his mother in a motel, but when she suffered a medical crisis due to drug use, Eli entered the foster care system at the age of 2. At that time, he was non-verbal due to trauma but has since overcome many health scares and hospital stays. Eli brings smiles, joy, and hope to everyone who interacts with him, and he has clicked with his foster family like a missing puzzle piece. He loves playing chef, playing with magnets, racing Hot Wheels, collecting stuffed animals, and listening to Disney music.
