Ella is an amazing person who has overcome some really tough times. For two years, she faced bullying, depression, and feelings of abandonment, but with the help of her mother, she was able to get through it all. They also endured an unsafe environment, which left its scars. But despite all of these setbacks, Ella's resilience has shone through. In her moments of solitude, Ella finds comfort in books, movies, and amusement parks. Her dream is to become a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) and make a difference in the healthcare industry. As she sets her sights on college, Ella's journey is not just about overcoming obstacles, but it's about embracing hope and forging a path toward a brighter future.

Ella is an incredible young lady who rarely asks for much and often endures challenges in silence. With the weather getting cooler, she finds herself in need of several warm sweaters to keep her comfortable and healthy while attending school. Unfortunately, she currently doesn’t own any sweaters, and with the temperature changes, it’s crucial to prevent her from getting sick. Ella would appreciate the chance to choose sweaters from her favorite store, Burlington. She hopes to find durable options that will last her a while. It’s especially important for her to try on the sweaters to ensure they aren’t itchy, as she wants to avoid triggering a flare-up of her eczema. In the past, Ella has faced difficulties with this condition, enduring teasing in elementary school where kids referred to her skin as "alligator skin." Finding the right sweaters would not only help her stay warm but also give her the confidence she deserves.
