Beech Acres Parenting Center

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.

For his birthday, Eli would love to celebrate with a dinosaur workbench playset. He loves dinosaurs, and a colorful, musical toy will capture his curiosity and joy. As he explores the lights, songs, and interactive features, he can develop important skills like hand-eye coordination and cause-and-effect understanding, all while having fun!
