My child Elijah should be Child of the Year because autism doesn't define him, and he’s overcome every obstacle with courage and strength.
We would like to thank you for supporting Elijah Doblar in this year's competition. Your participation helps us support Toys for Tots in their mission to bring joy and hope to children during the holiday season.
We're celebrating the power of play, creativity, and imagination through beloved brands families know and love.
Elijah is a loving, energetic, and adventurous 3-year-old. Though he’s autistic, he always finds creative ways to communicate his thoughts and feelings. His bright spirit shines through every smile and hug. What may seem like small obstacles to others can feel big to him, but Elijah is strong, he finds ways to overcome them every day with courage and determination. His resilience inspires everyone around him.
What are Elijah Doblar's favorite activities?Elijah is a vibrant 3-year-old who may be nonverbal, but his joyful spirit speaks volumes. His favorite activities include listening to his mom and dad read to him, swimming with endless splashes, running free, jumping with excitement, and being as silly as can be. His laughter and energy light up every room!
How would $25,000 impact your family?$25,000 would greatly impact our family by helping cover the cost of ABA therapy, creating a custom, safe playground where Elijah can play freely, and providing adaptive tools like a safety bed to ensure his well-being. These supports would give Elijah the chance to grow, thrive, and explore in a safe, nurturing environment tailored to his unique needs.
