Ele's Place was founded in the year 1991 in memory of Ele Stover, who died in 1989 at the age of 11 months. This organization was founded by Ele's parents Mr. and Mrs Stover. Eli had four siblings that will forever hold her in their memories. This organization is in place because of the struggle and hardship that the Stovers went through which motivated them to help others who were enduring similar hardships.
