Wish submitted by:

Elido was placed in foster care after experiencing neglect, which led to enduring trauma. Despite this, he has shown remarkable resilience. Though he is reserved, Elido is well-mannered and highly focused in school, with aspirations of attending college in the future. He is eager to learn new things and enjoys activities like reading, listening to music, and drawing. Over time, he has developed a positive relationship with his foster parents and takes pleasure in helping around the home.

Elido is dedicated to doing his best and has shown resourcefulness in getting things done. He appreciates what he has and has managed to maintain his grades. Once he finishes his homework, he enjoys spending time listening to music. However, his earbuds broke, and he's struggling with the emotional trauma, experiencing flashbacks to a time before he entered foster care. He would love to have new earbuds so he can immerse himself in music and cope with all of the thoughts bouncing around in his head.
