    As with most kids and even adults all over the world, four-year-old Eliana also dealt with quarantine blues. So, she decided to build a fairy garden in hopes of spreading some cheer in their neighborhood in Los Angeles. Apparently, the little girl’s effort didn’t go unnoticed as it caught the attention of a photographer named Kelly Victoria.

    Upon seeing the magical site, Kelly didn’t hesitate to return the favor. In fact, she even went out of her way to pretend to be a fairy named Sapphire and reached out to the girl. The exchange between “Sapphire the Fairy” and Eliana went on for about nine months. And recently, Kelly detailed in a Twitter thread how she and her four-year-old neighbor created a magical bond amidst the pandemic.

    Keep scrolling down to discover the heart-warming story behind their newfound friendship!

     

    In a Twitter thread, LA-based photographer Kelly Victoria detailed the heart-warming story behind her newfound friendship with her four-year-old neighbour Eliana

     

    I think everyone could use a lighthearted/happy story right now so here goes:

    At the beginning of the pandemic I went through some painful personal stuff and would often go out at night for long walks because no one was around and I couldn’t sleep anyway. One night I was walking

    down my street and noticed that someone had set up a few little objects in a tree planter and upon closer inspection I realized it was a fairy garden with a little note about the 4 year old girl who felt lonely in quarantine and wanted to spread some cheer. The next day I wrote pic.twitter.com/aCEK2k5PCy

    Apparently, it all began when she stumbled upon this fairy garden which was set up by Eliana “to spread some cheer” in their neighborhood

    “Sapphire the Fairy” and Eliana continued to exchange letters for nine months

     

    Doing this every night gave me purpose in a horribly painful and lonely time. I looked forward to my days again and I started ordering art supplies and little trinkets to leave her.

    Kelly even took the time to photoshop a photo of her dressed as a fairy to send to Eliana

     

    got to chat with her mom via text to make sure my gifts were a little more personal. At one point she asked for a photo of me and thankfully I had some elf costume items from the previous Halloween so I photoshopped some photos of myself in costume, looking like a fairy. ? pic.twitter.com/XgTAWnuWXK

    Unfortunately, Eliana and her family were scheduled to move to a new house, so they would have to leave the fairy garden behind

     

    In the past month her mom sent me a text letting me know that they had closed escrow on a new house a little further away and would have to leave the fairy garden behind in the care of their neighbors. She also mentioned that Eliana was having a tough time with it so I made sure pic.twitter.com/PuulHuy0VC

    So, Eliana’s mom thought it would be nice for the two to finally meet

     

    to include some support in my letters and told her I had to move as well so she’d feel like we were both going through it together. Her mom said it was helping her so much and they really wanted to try to see me somehow before they left.

    few days of planning with her mom, I got to meet Eliana. I left one last note this morning saying i had to move out today and made up a little story that when fairies move houses, they grow to the size of a human just for one day to move all of their belongings. I said I had one pic.twitter.com/yMUWntFr3E

    most important and impactful afternoons of my life thus far. I hope one day when she’s older she can understand that I truly needed her as much as she needed me these past few months.

    We plan to keep in touch/write letters to each other from time to time. She’s changed me forever and the things her mom has said about how her self-confidence, her kindness towards others and her creativity have skyrocketed since meeting me make me feel like I made an impact too. pic.twitter.com/UNkhkrEcR7

    I’ve had tears in my eyes all morning reading all these amazing messages. This was my special little secret that only 2 or 3 people knew about for the last 9 months, I wasn’t trying to get any attention for any of it but I’m so glad it’s bringing people so much joy. Thank you all

    I also found out today that Eliana has Synesthesia just like me and I can’t wait to discuss this further with her in the future ? her parents are such a treasure
