Exquisite and full of personality, he’s a true character who makes the world brighter just by being in it.
What are Eli's favorite activities?Eli’s favorite activities include dancing, playing with his big sister and cousins, going down slides, and swimming. He loves playing with his Toy Story, Paw Patrol, and Wiggles toys, bringing each character to life with his vivid imagination. Building with Magnet tiles and Legos is another favorite—he creates endlessly with focus and joy. Whether he’s splashing in water or spinning to music, Eli’s energy and creativity shine in everything he does.
How would $25,000 impact your family?Winning $25,000 would help us grow Eli’s college fund, boost our house down payment, and make a family vacation possible—something we’ve long hoped for. It would also provide a much-needed financial safety net, easing the stress many parents feel in today’s uncertain economy. This support would bring us peace of mind, stability, and the chance to create lasting memories together as a family.
