Meet Chloe
Dream Kid Chloe is such a happy 4-year-old!
Dream Kid Chloe gets excited about everything - that’s part of her magic!
“When we think of Chloe we think of her as this little shining star,” Chloe’s mom, Janessa shared. “She just lights up every room she walks into. Even when she’s not feeling well, she’s so bright, happy, and enthusiastic.”

She loves dancing, swimming, and gymnastics - but one of her favourite past-times is playing with her big brother. Chloe also loves animals - she’s always enjoys cuddling her pet cats and dogs, ever since she was a baby.
Chloe’s family knew right away that something wasn’t right with her health. She wasn’t gaining weight and was having trouble holding down food - she had intolerances to many different foods.
At 10 months old Chloe was suspected of having Neurofibromatosis 1, she has had various trips back and forth to Winnipeg for regularly scheduled hospital appointments and after having a seizure, she had an MRI. An optic pathway glioma was found - which is a tumour located on the optic nerve behind the eye. Her vision had started to deteriorate and a after a trip to the Mayo Clinic for a second opinion, Chloe started MEK Inhibitors for treatment in December 2023, and still sees her doctors regularly including sedated MRI’s.
Through it all, if you see her, Chloe is the happiest little girl and just tries so hard at everything she does!

Chloe keeps talking about going to a grocery store for her dream! “We go to the grocery store and she just loves it, she’s so excited to see different things at the store,” Chloe’s mom told us.

We are trying to explain that she could dream of something bigger! Chloe is a huge fan of Disney movies and music - especially The Little Mermaid, Moana, and Frozen. So once Chloe is ready to dream a bit bigger than the grocery store, Disney is on deck if that’s what she would like her dream to be.
“A dream come true would be such an amazing experience for Chloe,” her mom says. “Sometimes it feels like she’s unwell a lot, but then you look at her and she’s just so happy. To know that she would get to experience this incredible joy. Since she’s so excited in her every day life, it’s hard to imagine how excited she would be to experience the magic of Disney!”
Chloe’s family is still waiting to plan their trip to Disney - once she’s a bit bigger and can go on more rides with her big brother, then the magic of Disney awaits!
