Wish submitted by:

Elaina is a strong and determined young woman who has shown remarkable resilience through life's challenges. After spending time in foster care with her sister and experiencing the loss of her father at a young age, she has remained focused on creating a positive future for herself. Elaina works hard in school and understands the opportunities that education can provide. She enjoys drawing and other creative outlets that allow her to express herself and build confidence. Thoughtful, hardworking, and resilient, Elaina continues to pursue her goals with optimism and determination.

Elaina has been asking her aunt for a gecko for years. Her aunt kept telling her she wasn't ready. Elaina is so excited that finally, her aunt said yes to her birthday. Elaina wants to be able to provide everything that the new gecko would need to prove she is responsible. Granting this wish with a gift card would help her provide what the gecko would need, for example, toys, food, climbing materials, lighting, and a heat rock.
