Elijah, 9 years old, WA

Wish submitted by:

Elijah is the oldest of his siblings and was removed from his parents' care due to severe drug use and domestic violence. As a result, he experiences communication and cognitive delays. Initially, he was placed in a group home, separated from his siblings, but he has recently been moved out of state to live with a relative caregiver. This caregiver is relatively new to parenting and is adjusting from being a single parent of one child to now being a single parent of four, which includes Elijah and his two other siblings.

Elijah recently moved out of state to live with a caring individual who has graciously opened their heart and home to him. Although the caregiver is doing their best to support Elijah, they are unable to provide him with a basic necessity: his own dresser. Currently, Elijah is using an old TV stand to store his clothes, but it is too small, and his clothes frequently spill out. Receiving a dresser would be super helpful to Elijah and his caregivers.
