Eli, 10 years old

Wish submitted by:

n October of 2022 following a domestic violence incident between the parents that resulting in the father being arrested and the mother hospitalized. Eli has had to overcome several challenges this year including having five different placements and being separated from his older sister for most of the year. Eli is an active young boy who loves TV Titan Man, Legos and Transformers. He is very outgoing and makes friends wherever he goes. He is affectionate, showing a lot of love and giving hugs to those around him. Eli is learning to better regulate his big emotions by naming them and using deep breathing when his emotions get overwhelming.

El’is wish is to have a Meta Quest 2 — Advanced All-In-One Virtual Reality Headset. This gift will provide him an outlet for his active energy while being inside this winter. It would make him feel excited and special and would help alleviate some of the frequent physical contact between him and his sister due to pent up energy.
