Meet Elena, a compassionate and creative young lady with a kind and empathetic heart. Elena expresses her creativity through writing letters and poems and indulging in reading. She loves the colors blue, white, black, and fuchsia and loves playing with younger children.
Despite struggling with math, Elena remains passionate about the subject. She also has aspirations of pursuing cheerleading, an interest she is unable to currently explore. Fried fish and French fries with a squeeze of lemon is her favorite meal. Elena dreams of becoming a Veterinarian one day or maybe a manicurist--her future is wide open to explore.
Inspired by her own experiences, her compassion extends to helping people experiencing homelessness, driven by a deep understanding of their need for love and shelter.
Described by her caretakers as sweet, tender, and eager to assist others, Elena's innate kindness and helpfulness make her a remarkable and caring individual. She seeks a nurturing family that values her empathy and creativity, providing her with the love and support to pursue her dreams and continue spreading kindness to those around her.
