Ella is an amazing person who has been through a lot in their life. They are proud of who they are and feel comfortable with their non-binary identity. Ella has a condition called Elhers-Danlos Syndrome, which affects their blood vessels, skin, bones, and joints, but they are not letting it hold them back. To help with their mobility, Ella recently started using a cane. Along with taking care of themselves, Ella is a devoted cat parent to four furry friends.

Ella is requesting a gaming console because she is working on rebuilding her network of friends who treat her with respect and genuinely care for her. They often play video games together to stay connected when they can't visit each other. Since aging out of foster care, Ella has faced challenges in finding friends who treat her well. This new group of friends is much nicer and healthier for her, and she is trying to maintain those connections. Having the console would allow her to join them online, enabling them to talk and play games together.
