Elijah has dedicated the past four years to serving his country, performing search and rescue missions, boat maintenance, and maritime law enforcement. But his most important role is being a father to his daughter, Ophelia.
Ophelia was diagnosed with torticollis, a condition affecting her neck muscles, requiring a cranial helmet to help correct her head shape and development. Unfortunately, the $1,630 cost of the helmet was not covered, putting a financial strain on Elijah and his family. Wanting the best care for his daughter, Elijah reached out to Wish for Our Heroes for assistance.
