New Clothes to make Ellis Christmas a dream come true

Posted Nov 26, 2021
Elli is a sweet, shy and very artistic young teen, she is so grateful for her foster family that showed her what real love is. She is very appreciative of everything they have given her and she is so excited to enjoy the holiday season with them. One of her top items on her Christmas list is a Dillards gift card. She loves clothes and would love to pick out some things of her own that expresses who she is. Dillards just recently opened in her town and she would love to get something unique for herself.

Elli is 16 years old and lives in CO

Elli entered the foster care system after enduring years of abuse and neglect by her biological family. She is finally thankful to feel at peace and safe where she is in her foster home. She has overcome so much in her life and has excelled in school all through the trauma she faced. Elli has worked hard to be accepted into a prestigious high school program where she will be able to earn her associates degree as she completes high school. It is a very rigorous program that gets high school students started on their college career and they can transfer their credits to many universities worldwide. She hopes to one day be a gaming designer and influence kids that are just like her and help others stay connected.
