Ella's Big Wish

Ella is a hilarious, unique, smart, and caring girl. From the time she was born, Ella has faced multiple medical challenges with bravery. Ella has multiple medical diagnoses that are both physical and cognitive. These include complex seizure disorder, progressive hearing loss, significant cognitive delays, ADHD, and much more.

Recently Ella received additional diagnoses that are heart-breaking. She has a serious mitochondrial disorder as well as MELAS -please Google as there is a lot to this condition or visit https://www.cedars-sinai.org/health-library/diseases-and-conditions/m/melas.html

In the midst of figuring all of this out, I reached out to Dream Factory- an amazing organization that makes life magical for kids with terminal illnesses. Ella was granted an amazing wish to go to Disney World while she is still relatively stable. Our family is going in November- it is a bittersweet, amazing, and exciting opportunity for all of us.

While the vast majority of costs are covered by the Dream Factory, we want to ensure that funds are not a barrier for any portion of the experience. Many people have reached out asking how to support us, and this would be more than helpful for Ella.

Ella deserves the world, and I am so thankful that we can all help give it to her.
