Eli, 4 years old, OH |

Wish submitted by:

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.

Eli loves listening to audiobooks before bed and to calm down when he is upset. Eli is struggling with social worker visits and is regressing into more frequent tantrums. Eli trusts his foster family, and when he has his routine of falling asleep to stories, he is happier and better rested to have a great day at preschool. Eli is an imaginative child who talks about books, movies, and songs with his friends. This audio collection will be an amazing gift for Eli to open this Christmas.
