There are some that bring a light so great to the world
that even after they are gone, their light remains.
“Elly” Ellyana DeLaTorre was this light for so many people…a true light worker.
Since childhood, Ellyana was always happiest when she was helping others, although she was silently struggling with her own lifelong mental health issues.
After Ellyana’s sudden passing on August 5, 2021, our family received an outpouring of support from community, friends and family, from which we are forever grateful.
It is our mission to continue where Ellyana left off. Through the work of Elly CARES Project, her spirit will live on. We will focus on spreading kindness and helping those in need through community awareness.

Long Island P.R.E.P was established in 2017 to raise awareness for mental health and substance abuse prevention in our schools. They offer a variety of programs, involving mental health awareness and substance abuse prevention focusing on K-12 education in schools as well as community awareness and professional development workshops for adults and professionals. Their anchor program, an assistive technology software, was designed for parents and social emotional education staff in our schools for early identification and intervention services for students struggling with mental health and/or substance abuse.
