A new basketball for Elijah

Posted Dec 13, 2024
A basketball would give Elijah a tool to express himself in a healthy way, offering a sense of accomplishment and focus. It could help him channel his energy and frustration into something positive, giving him a space where he feels in control and able to take a break from everything else. The rhythm of the game could offer a meditative quality, grounding him in the present moment and providing a break from overwhelming thoughts.

Elijah is 14 years old and lives in NJ

Elijah is quiet but resilient, often facing challenges that others may not fully understand. His eyes carry a depth that hints at the emotional battles he’s been through, but there’s also a spark of determination that refuses to be extinguished. Though he may sometimes withdraw into himself, there’s an underlying strength in how he handles each day, no matter how tough it gets. What stands out most is his perseverance. There’s a quiet, unspoken courage in how he keeps going—whether that’s through therapy, engaging in hobbies he enjoys, or simply finding ways to distract his mind in healthy ways. He’s learning that healing isn’t linear, and some days will be harder than others, but he’s determined not to give up. Slowly, he’s discovering his own strength, even when the world feels heavy.
