Elias

Elias is a little firecracker of energy, personality and so much more. He's sweet and thoughtful, too! He learns a lot from observing and playing with his 4 year old brother. They are like two peas in a pod. One of the sweetest things Elias does is when he notices someone is hurt, he will kiss your boo-boo. If he accidentally hurts you, he will say sorry while patting your head. He's brave, bold, and adventurous on the outside, but also kind, silly, and sweet on the inside. He's the best!

Elias's favorite obsession right now are cars and trucks. He loves to bring his cars to the table and play with them whether it's racing them, carrying it around the house or sleeping with them in his bed. He loves to play outside, go to the park, and even jump in a pool that he is not nearly big enough for! We always need to keep a close eye on him because he's so quick. Running and playing outside in the dirt are more fun activities he likes to do. Eating delicious food is by far his favorite!

Winning $25,000 would be incredibly impactful for our family. We are saving to buy our first house while also paying for preschool for our two sons. Living in Hawaii, purchasing a home is probably the most expensive investment we will ever make. $25,000 wouldn't buy a house outright, not even close, but it would be a huge chunk towards a down payment that could help make monthly mortgage payments more manageable for a family of 4. It honestly would be one of the greatest gifts for our family.
