HOLIDAY WISH

Basketball for Elijah who loves pretending he is a famous basketball star!

Posted Dec 5, 2017
Elijah loves to be outside and enjoys pretending he is one of his favorite basketball players when he is playing. He had several players he looks up to and one day hopes to be a basketball player!

Elijah is 15 years old and lives in FL

Elijah is in 4th grade and lives with his father, step-mother, and three sisters. Though the beginning of his life was tough for him, he is resilient and working towards learning to not let his past impact his future. He has a great sense of humor, loves science class, and likes being outside. He is protective of his sisters and is happy to finally be in a home where he feels loved but the fear of going back to foster care is always present.
