Meet Olivia
Dream Kid Olivia shines with joy, even through the difficult times she’s been through!

Olivia is like most girls her age – she loves Bluey, hide-and-seek, colouring, dolls, and bunny mac-and-cheese! She has two older brothers and is one of the sweetest 4-year-olds you will ever meet!
But Olivia has been through a lot more than most kids her age.
In October 2022, Olivia came down with a cold and an ear infection that would not clear up. After some bloodwork she was sent to Children’s Hospital where the worst was confirmed – Olivia had Stage 4 Cancer.
Things moved quickly after her diagnosis. Rigorous chemotherapy began immediately to treat the cancer that had spread throughout her whole body and continued for the next 10 months. Olivia underwent 2 bone marrow transplants and had to spend some time in Toronto at Sick Kids Hospital.

It was a long journey for Olivia and her family, but Olivia stayed her positive, happy self throughout. And it was on this journey that they were introduced to The Dream Factory.
Olivia’s family was told about The Dream Factory by another Dream Parent. The Dream Factory quickly became a bright spot and something for Olivia and her family to look forward to during tough times.
And now, 15 months later, Olivia is finishing her immunotherapy. Olivia fought an incredibly tough battle. She has been cancer-free since October 2023 and is ready for her dream to come true!
Olivia loves making sandcastles at the beach, sea turtles, and mermaids - so it only makes sense that her dream is to jet to Hawaii for Mermaid School!
