Eliana, 19 years old, MA | 23 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Eliana is bright and funny, and she has spent much of her life in foster care, but that hasn't stopped her from setting her sights on becoming a nurse. Outside of working toward that goal, she keeps herself busy with a mix of interests, including writing, reading, playing soccer, drawing, and losing herself in a good round of Animal Crossing.

For Eliana, video games have always been a reliable escape, a way to switch off after a long day and just relax. After the stress of her first semester of college, she's looking forward to finally having time to unwind over break, and Minecraft is exactly the kind of game she'd love to lose herself in- open-ended, low-pressure, and endlessly engaging. It's less about the game itself and more about giving her mind a real break before spring semester starts.
