A Personal Porch Swing for Elli who needs a place to relax in peace

Posted May 23, 2022
Elli is a hard working, fun young lady that works hard at school and strives to be the best at everything she does. This year has been overwhelming between school and dealing with some underlying past trauma. This summer she would love to have a little down time and some peace and quiet for herself by creating a little Zen area in her backyard. Her sister recently got a new porch swing and she would love one as-well. With this wish she will be able to decompress when her thoughts and stress overwhelm her.

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.
