A backpack for Elazya to carry her school supplies

Posted Sep 4, 2024
Elazya was not previously attending school due to trauma and social anxiety, but she has come so far with the help of services and therapy and has been attending school all year so far with no missed days. She is passing all of her classes and is on a true path to success. She is using an old and very damaged backpack this year as her mother was unable to get her a new one. Elazya wants to go out and pick out her own backpack so she has confidence and feels valued when at school.

Elazya is 17 years old and lives in NE

Elazya has come leaps and bounds. She is passing all of her classes and has not missed a single day yet! She is a huge animal lover and loves going to the movies, especially a good Rom-Com. She enjoys ice cream, so whenever she meets with her workers, they try a new place. She loves McDonald's, but due to the financial constraints of her mom, who is a single caregiver addressing her own trauma, she does not go often. Hanging out with friends is a favorite pastime, and they love doing all the girly things, like nails and hair, and just talking. Elazya is an incredible friend and is an assertive advocate for herself and her needs.
