Elias, 2 years old, WA | 4 DAYS WAITING

Foster Hearts Region 3

Elias is an active and curious little boy who has been in foster care since birth. He loves bright colors, music, and anything he can shake, roll, or explore with his little hands—especially push toys and ride-on toys that allow him to move and go on adventures. As he continues to work hard to overcome his developmental delays, he has made significant progress. He enjoys watching Ms. Rachel, and his favorite food is bananas.

Elias would love a set of magnetic building blocks this Christmas. He is learning to stack, count, and build, and blocks that snap together would make it easier for him to create without the frustration of towers that tumble down. Each cube sticks to the next, so he can keep building, try new ideas, and feel proud of what he makes. Playing with them would also strengthen his fine motor skills and his problem solving as he figures out how the pieces fit. Elias has been in foster care from the very start, and a set of blocks that is all his would bring him a joyful, confidence building way to play. He will be excited to find it under the tree on Christmas morning.
