<div>Our beautiful girl, Yvette (Eve), was born fighting for her life after a rare twin pregnancy complication caused a severe brain injury. She now lives with Quadriplegic Cerebral Palsy, meaning she can’t sit, walk, or move independently and requires 24-hour care. Despite her physical limitations, Eve is a bright 3 year old girl who is cognitively the same as her twin sister.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Yvette is a monochorionic, monoamniotic twin, meaning she shared a single placenta and amniotic sac with her twin sister, Heidi. During pregnancy, the girls developed twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome, an extremely rare and dangerous condition where twins share unequal amounts of blood supply through the placenta. Born prematurely at 30 weeks and 1 day via emergency caesarean, Yvette’s umbilical cord was severely entangled, and she required immediate resuscitation and ventilation at birth.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>She spent nine long weeks in the neonatal intensive care unit, needing ventilation support and tube feeding. At just 28 days old, Yvette was diagnosed with Periventricular Leukomalacia (PVL) — softening of the white matter in her brain, more severe on the right side. By three months corrected age, she was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy, and at just nine months old, she bravely underwent open-heart surgery to repair a ventricular septal defect.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Eve has Quadriplegic Cerebral Palsy, meaning her entire physical body is affected. She struggles to control her head, trunk, arms and legs. She is significantly delayed in her physical development, lives with daily pain, and is often distressed — needing constant reassurance, redirection, and of course, endless love. Yvette shows no cognitive delays and has even used her eye gaze device to tell us “I want to do what the others are doing” showing us she is very aware of her condition.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Bec and Phil knew the road ahead would be hard — but nothing could prepare them for the reality of caring for a child with such complex needs.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Eve’s needs are intensive and around the clock. She cannot sit independently, even with specialised equipment, and must be carried or held for most of the day. Sleep is difficult, regulation is a daily challenge, and her communication barriers make it hard to know when she’s hurting or uncomfortable.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Her mum, Bec, provides 24-hour care, with little opportunity for rest or respite due to Eve’s high support needs.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Despite all of this, Eve’s determination shines bright. She works so hard in therapy every week — 6 to 8 sessions, including physiotherapy, occupational therapy, feeding and communication sessions, hydrotherapy and dietician support. Every step of progress takes incredible effort, love, and determination.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But to give Eve the best chance at improving her quality of life, there’s one treatment that could change everything: Stem Cell Therapy.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Stem cell therapy offers real hope for children like Eve with severe Cerebral Palsy. By helping repair and regenerate damaged brain cells, stem cells can create new neural pathways that support improved muscle control, coordination, and overall function. Early intervention is especially powerful while the brain is still developing, as it can enhance cognitive skills, reduce muscle stiffness, and promote better movement and communication. For children with severe cerebral palsy, even small improvements — like greater head control, less pain, or the ability to interact more — can completely transform their quality of life and independence.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Experts recommend that Eve receive stem cells every six months while her brain is still developing — a critical window of opportunity to help her create new neural pathways and unlock potential. Despite the benefits and positive outcomes of stem cell therapy, this treatment is not currently available for cerebral palsy in Australia and international treatments are not covered by Medicare or NDIS. Leaving Phil and Bec to cover the cost of the treatment and international travel expenses out of pocket. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our goal is for Eve to receive three rounds of stem cell therapy before she turns five in June 2027 as this is a critical time in her brain development. The cost will exceed $100,000.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This treatment could improve Eve’s communication, cognition, movement, and overall strength and pain levels — helping her achieve milestones that once seemed out of reach. For a child like Eve, every bit of progress is life changing — and your support could change her whole world.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Please help us give this gift to Eve.
</div>
