HOLIDAY WISH

An Espresso Machine to help Elli to start her day fully caffeinated

Posted Sep 20, 2022
Elli and her sister are huge coffee fan, and Elli is especially is a connoisseur of sorts. She is very finicky with her coffee and flavors, and like many coffee fans, she has her favorite places she likes to go to before heading off to high school. For Christmas she would absolutely love this amazing espresso maker. She has done tons of research on mastering the technique of the perfect cup of coffee. This would not only save her money, which being a high school student she has limited funds, but also give her the chance to experiment with something she loves to make.

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.
