When we lost Elijah at just 15 years old, my world shattered. It’s a pain no mother should ever have to bear. But even in the midst of that heartbreak, Eli's light found a way to shine through.
Three days after his passing, over 300 young people gathered on the basketball court at his school—each one touched by Eli's spirit. They shared story after story, laughing through tears as they remembered his humor, his kindness, and the way he made everyone feel like they mattered.
It was in that moment that I realized: Eli had left behind more than memories. He left a movement. Mi Amor Eli is now more than a MARKETPLACE. It's a living tribute—a sanctuary built on Eli’s values: joy, community, resilience, and style with soul. Every corner of our space, from the vendors to the selfie rooms, from the event center to the youth initiatives, carries Eli’s energy. He inspired the vision. He is the vision.
Mi Amor Eli was reborn — not just as a store, but as a movement, a platform, and a sanctuary for community.
