Elias, 11 years old, CA |

Wish submitted by:

Elias is currently in the foster care system and is living with his older brother. Elias has had a very hard time adjusting to the changes that the foster care system brings to a young child. Although all the difficult things that the child went through, he is still very goofy, smart, and creative. He says that he is happy he is with his brother because he understands him the most. Elias says that he finds a lot of things interesting, mainly things like Legos, space, Hip Hop, and science. At school, he joined the Lego robotics team. He says that's the most fun that he has had with other kids in his class. He says that it helped him make a lot of friends in school. His older brother stated that he sees him happier since joining the club at school. Elias says that his favorite thing to do in school is PE class because he plays soccer with his friends and sometimes with the teacher if there aren't too many children that day. For this class, he loves it also because the teacher plays music for them on Fridays, and sometimes the class does dance battles. Elias shares that he is so happy for the people who have come into his life because they have made everything better than he expected.

Elias has been wishing for a Lego set for a very long time, so he said he would love this set for Christmas. Elias is a foster youth who hopes to get his wish this Christmas season. He has always found space so interesting and cool, which is why he wishes for an astronaut Lego that can also be created into other things. Christmas has always been hard for Elias; his older brother whom he is staying with is trying very hard to make this Christmas better than all the other ones that he has had.
