Elijah, 18 years old

Wish submitted by:

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 Elijah has been a bit withdrawn since he was removed from home but he continues to be very respectful and does his chores with now complaints.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.

Elijah will be working part-time in construction and aspires to become an electrician after he graduates from high school. He has been selected to participate in the Career Trades Program and is excited to start learning about the field. Elijah is seeking assistance to purchase a pair of Timberland boots for his new job. With his birthday coming up next month, he has requested the boots as a birthday gift. Granting this wish would boost his self-esteem and provide him with the tools he needs to succeed.
