A new formal suit for Elijah who has been invited to attend his Jr. Prom

Posted Apr 28, 2023
Elijah has worked very hard all year on his grades. He has brought his grades up from D's to B's. Elijah was asked to the Jr. Prom by his girlfriend and does not own a suit. This will be the very first time Elijah has been on a date and this will be his very first suit that he will own. He is very excited about the prom.

Elijah is 17 years old and lives in VA

Elijah is a very smart and kind young man that was recently placed in a foster home without his two younger sisters. He loves to read and play video games and wants to one day create his own video game. Elijah has been a bit withdrawn since he was removed from home but he continues to be very respectful and does his chores with now complaints. He misses his two younger sisters but continues to be hopeful to be reunited with his family one day.
