At only four months old, following complications during surgery, Eli’s diagnosis became even more complex. He was later found to have DORV, Hypoplastic Left Ventricle, ASD, VSD, Mitral Atresia, Supraventricular Tachycardia (SVT), and Pulmonary Hypertension. .

Such a huge battle for one little boy to face 

After facing many more challenges, operations, and setbacks, Eli continued to show incredible strength and resilience far beyond his years. His Dream was simple but so special — he wanted a pet axolotl, just like his Uncle Tyler. Thanks to the generosity of some amazing locals, Kylie was able to head to Petstock and make Eli’s Dream come true. And judging by the smile on Eli’s face, it’s clear just how much he adores his new little friend, “Axi.” 

Our Beliefs

The Dream experience is designed to alleviate the distress, suffering, and challenges faced by children and their families in times of hardship. By creating joyful and meaningful experiences tailored to the child’s interests, the Dream provides emotional relief, fosters family togetherness, and offers comfort during difficult circumstances.

Living with illness

“Having a child with a life-threatening medical condition has profoundly affected our family. The constant worry and fear can be overwhelming, leading to stress and strain in our relationships. However, this journey has also brought us closer together. We’ve learned to cherish the small moments and lean on each other for support, finding strength in our love and resilience. Each day becomes a reminder of what truly matters, and we celebrate those moments together”.
