Elaina, 24 years old, OR | 2 DAYS WAITING |

Wish submitted by:

The Lost & Found Institute

Elaina dreams of becoming a famous chef one day. Growing up in her kinship placement, she often cooked for her grandparents and siblings. Now, she spends much of her free time experimenting with new recipes she discovers on TikTok, Instagram, and Pinterest. Her favorite show is Hell's Kitchen, and she hopes to appear on the show one day.

While we know the holidays have passed, there is still time to make this wish come true! Elaina loves having her friends over! However, she doesn't always have the opportunity to cook for them as much as she would like. For Elaina, cooking is a way to show her loved ones that she cares. She would like a night with her friends where she shows them gratitude. She aims to prepare simple snacks and finger foods to welcome everyone, celebrate the evening, and create a warm and enjoyable atmosphere for her guests.
