Elaina dreams of becoming a famous chef one day. Growing up in her kinship placement, she often cooked for her grandparents and siblings. Now, she spends much of her free time experimenting with new recipes she discovers on TikTok, Instagram, and Pinterest. Her favorite show is Hell's Kitchen, and she hopes to appear on the show one day.

Elaina is asking for a camping chair to take with her on an upcoming trip that she has been eagerly anticipating for a long time. This will be her first real camping experience, and she is excited to spend a few days surrounded by nature, bonding with others around the campfire, and taking a much-needed break from her usual routine. While she has been gathering the essentials—like a sleeping bag and warm clothes—she still needs a chair to bring along, which is something most others will have. A sturdy, comfortable camping chair would make all the difference for her. It would provide her with a place to sit and relax during meals, share stories at night, and feel like she truly belongs. Having this one item would help her feel more confident, comfortable, and excited to embrace this new experience.
