Wish submitted by:

Elijah is an exceptionally intelligent, articulate, and insightful young man who approaches every goal with determination and perseverance. As a foster youth currently in a transitional living program, he continuously strives to build a bright future, working hard in his studies despite learning disabilities by actively seeking guidance and pushing through challenges. Elijah dreams of earning a bachelor’s degree in marine biology and pursuing a master’s degree. He was also recently approved for an emotional support animal (ESA) to accompany him on his journey toward independence. In his spare time, Elijah is a talented home cook who enjoys making healthy versions of his favorite homestyle meals, as well as an engaging online gamer with a growing following who hopes to turn his unique play-by-play style into a successful pursuit.

Elijah is a foster youth requesting a pet door for his sliding door to support his emotional support animal. This addition would allow his companion to safely go in and out on its own, creating more independence and ease for both Elijah and his pet. It would also help make daily routines more manageable, ensuring his companion has reliable, safe access to the outdoors whenever needed. This item would support Elijah in responsibly caring for his emotional support animal, which provides him with important comfort and emotional support.
