When Elena was approached to design a jersey that would support a specific cause, she chose an initiative focused on fighting homelessness in her adopted home of Los Angeles. Having lived in LA for a few years now, she could witness how the number of homeless people in the city grew and she wanted to try to make a difference.

She is by no means a designer but discussed with someone far more competent than her about a design that would be a reminder of public art and community murals around the city. It's a colourful design and fairly different from the regular black jerseys the team wears. She knows that this one event won't solve many problems but she was glad to participate in something that at least showed that some people cared and were trying to raise funds to help. She pledged to participate in more events of the sort during her time in LA as a player and beyond her career.
