Eli, 3 years old, OH |

Wish submitted by:

Eli is a curious, observant, and sweet boy. He previously lived with his mother in a motel, but when she suffered a medical crisis due to drug use, Eli entered the foster care system at the age of 2. At that time, he was non-verbal due to trauma but has since overcome many health scares and hospital stays. Eli brings smiles, joy, and hope to everyone who interacts with him, and he has clicked with his foster family like a missing puzzle piece. He loves playing chef, playing with magnets, racing Hot Wheels, collecting stuffed animals, and listening to Disney music.

Eli, a Christmas baby, is excited to celebrate his birthday just a week before the holidays. This year, he's receiving a Dream Story Player, which is perfectly aligned with his birthday wish. The device will allow him to listen to new stories at bedtime, fostering his growth and learning. One of Eli's biggest goals is to expand his vocabulary and learn to express his emotions. He has a particular passion for trucks and cars, and the stories available on the Dream Story Player cater to these interests. By engaging with these tales, Eli will not only enjoy his favorite topics but also support his healthy development.
