Sev­en-year-old Eli Grif­fith, di­ag­nosed with AD­HD, had the chance of a life­time to live out his dream of be­com­ing a po­lice of­fi­cer for a day. On ca­reer day at Mara­bel­la Gov­ern­ment Pri­ma­ry School, Eli proud­ly donned a po­lice uni­form, a gift from his dot­ing grand­moth­er Deb­bie Pe­ters.

The sight of Eli in the blue vest with the word “po­lice” em­bla­zoned on the front, a grey sweater, black pants, beanie, hand­cuffs, and badge wasn’t just a play­ful cos­tume—it was a boost to his self-es­teem and a mo­ment of joy that made him feel seen, mo­ti­vat­ed, and spe­cial.

For Eli, that day marked more than just a role; it was a step to­wards re­al­is­ing his dreams.
