Eli is a sweet little boy that will need alot of love. He didn't have the best of life growing up. He is 3 years old. His parents were often mean to him, not only with their sharp words but their hands and fists. Eli suffered much abuse at the ones who were suppose to protect him. He was very guarded when he came to me. Now he is a fun lovable little boy who I've often recieved laughing and hugs from. Eli never experienced a childhood and everyone in his family ignored all the signs or turned away instead of helping. It also seems the system failed him. Eli ultimately died from malnutrition. This little boy is so sweet and you won't regret having him around.
