Elpidia, 25 years old

Wish submitted by:

Elpidia is an amazing young lady, well-mannered, and not afraid to ask for help when in need. Elpidia has thrived and shown resiliency by overcoming every obstacle that has been put in her path. She is currently attending employment programs in efforts to obtain a job in the field of child development. She is always willing to participate in support groups for those who have experienced similar trauma because she believes that voicing her story to others can inspire them to never lose hope, and to remind them that they, too, are resilient. Elpidia’s current goal is to intern at a preschool to obtain experience towards her child development career because she loves working with children, making them smile and feel safe.

Elpidia is due to give birth any day now and there are just a few more essentials she needs to feel fully prepared. Eli wishes for a new breast pump so she can make sure that she is storing sufficient milk for her baby and feeding her baby an adequate amount of milk each time. Eli currently does not have enough funds to purchase a pump of her own and unfortunately she cannot order one with her insurance as they are out of pumps. This support would mean so much to Eli and will help her baby grow big and strong!
