Elijah, 14 years old, WA

Wish submitted by:

Elijah has been in foster care since June 2025 and is currently adjusting to his third placement. Through each transition, he continues to show resilience and a positive attitude. He is kind and passionate, especially when talking about the things he loves, and he shows strong loyalty and connection to others. Elijah is very interested in sports and gaming, especially the Seahawks and Madden 15 with Richard Sherman on the cover. He enjoys talking about players, following the team, and proudly supporting the Seahawks. Attending the Super Bowl parade this year was a meaningful experience for him. What makes Elijah special is his ability to stay hopeful and find joy despite difficult circumstances, while also being able to talk openly about challenges with the people around him. His love of sports gives him confidence, comfort, and a sense of belonging. Elijah also hopes to play football one day as a pulling guard.

Elijah is a big sports fan, especially of the Seahawks. He has stayed connected to the team through both good and hard times, and it gives him hope and something he really enjoys. Even without a jersey, he proudly supports the Seahawks and even attended the Super Bowl parade this year with excitement. Getting an official Seahawks jersey of his favorite player, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, would mean a lot to him. It would be more than just clothing—it would help him feel like he belongs and give him confidence. It would also be a way for him to show his love for the team in a special way. This jersey would give Elijah something he can wear with pride and remind him that his interests and feelings matter.
