Creating Memories
That Last

Ella Is A Mobile And Desktop App Dedicated
To Providing A Personal Digital Lifebook For
Children In Foster Care

Ella Provides A Simple and Secure Digital Space For Foster Youth To Capture Their Most Meaningful Memories.

A Lost Image

The Ella LifeBook started because of a young boy in foster care who lost his only photo with his siblings.

Thankfully, through Foster Love - Together We Rise's sibling reunification event, Disney Days, we were able to replace his lost photo.

A Photo No Longer Fades

This sparked an intensive tech project to ensure every child has a digital archive of their precious memories.

Through Ella and the assistance from foster parents or those legally responsible, children can successfully exit care with their own photos and records.

Connect On A Higher Level

Ella provides a great way for legally responsible individuals to connect with a child when first visiting.

Safe and secure, you will be able to easily access information on your own device.

A Child's Memory Should Carry On With Them.

Time in foster care can often be a tough experience. The Ella Digital Lifebook provides insight and record of people who truly looked after a child while in care.

'By having a hub where their story can be held and accessible to them, allows for them to have control over their narrative and their history. It also assists in their identity development as they read stories about their family, see photos of those that look like them, and gain a better understanding of where they came from.'

Seneca Family Of Agencies

'I was capturing life events of my child but had no place to put them for future reference. Ella has now solved the problem of marking special occasions, major milestones and events that can't and shouldn't be missed.'

Why was the Ella LifeBook app created?

Foster Love - Together We Rise is the largest foster care non-profit in the US. Every year, they reunite siblings in foster care at the happiest place on earth - Disneyland. After the event, all of the kids are provided photos of their fun day. A few weeks after a Disney Days event, we had an agency reach out to us requesting a specific photo. They said that one of the kids was devastated when he misplaced the ONLY photo of him and his brother. Luckily, we had copies! This did start the conversation on how can we leverage technology to prevent this from ever happening again. This created the Ella Lifebook.
