A Weighted Blanket for Elli to help with her anxiety

Posted Jan 19, 2023
Elli is struggling with anxiety. She's always had anxiety but sometimes it’s worse than others. Sleep has been one of her biggest struggle. She was told a weighted blanket would help her, and she’d like to try it.

Elli is 16 years old and lives in CO

Elli entered the foster care system after enduring years of abuse and neglect by her biological family. She is finally thankful to feel at peace and safe where she is in her foster home. She has overcome so much in her life and has excelled in school all through the trauma she faced. Elli has worked hard to be accepted into a prestigious high school program where she will be able to earn her associates degree as she completes high school. It is a very rigorous program that gets high school students started on their college career and they can transfer their credits to many universities worldwide. She hopes to one day be a gaming designer and influence kids that are just like her and help others stay connected.
