Children's Institute

Elena has experienced an emotional rollercoaster in her young life, shaped by the challenges and abuse she witnessed in her parents’ relationship. These experiences left her struggling with her own mental health, including major depressive disorder, behavioral difficulties, and questions about her self-identity. Although reunited with her mother, Elena has continued to face these struggles. Yet over the past year, she has made remarkable progress. With the support of her therapists and psychiatrists, Elena has worked hard to manage her emotions and strengthen her mental health. One of her greatest outlets has been her art — she creates beautiful pieces that help her cope, express herself, and find emotional balance. Elena’s journey is ongoing, but her dedication to healing and her creative spirit show how far she has come and how much hope lies ahead.

Elena is eager to begin collecting Pop Mart figurines, a passion she shares with her sisters. She especially loves horror themes and was thrilled when the Chucky box set figures were released. Starting her own collection would bring Elena so much happiness, giving her a sense of pride and excitement as she builds something special alongside her siblings. This wish is more than just about figurines — it would boost Elena’s confidence, provide a positive outlet for her mental health, and remind her that she is cared for. Fulfilling her wish would also ease the financial burden on her mother, who is currently unemployed and unable to afford Christmas gifts. Receiving the Pop Mart Chucky set would make Elena’s holiday truly joyful and meaningful.
