It was 2011. Elias and his family were living in Tanzania, Africa. In a moment, a split-second, their world was turned upside down. Elias’ father was tragically killed by a close family friend. A few years after that massive loss, the family made a move—thousands of miles away to Virginia as refugees. It wasn’t long before Elias and his younger siblings entered the foster care system.
