Meet our dream kids
Dream Kid Nabila is a sweet and kind 6-year-old who recently experienced the magic of Disney on her Dream Trip to Disney World with her family! This special trip was a time for Nabila and her family to make some cherished memories together so that when Nabila grows up, she’ll remember more than just the pains of her illness.
Meet Lila. She’s 16, in grade 11, loves her three dogs, and is a very talented artist. Lila’s creativity goes beyond just drawing. It’s not uncommon for her to write a story, then draw the characters and maps to go with it.
Dream Kid Malcolm left his birthplace of Churchill when he was a baby because of his illness. But recently, he visited his first home on his exciting dream trip!
Dream Kid Ethan gets along with everyone. He loves playing video games and eating fast food, just like most 8-year-olds. His favourite food right now is poutine! Ethan is a great big brother to his two younger siblings.
Dream Kid Dante is a cheerful and sweet spirited 5-year-old. He loves super heroes, especially batman. At just 9 weeks old, Dante was diagnosed with Alagille Syndrome - a rare liver disease which only about 9 people in Manitoba suffer from.
Miracles are real for five-year-old Dream Kid Owen and his family. When his mom was five months pregnant, she learned that Owen would be born with Down Syndrome, holes in his heart, and growths in his stomach obstructing his digestive system. Doctors stressed that she could miscarry at any time.
The biggest highlight of the trip was obviously PortAventura, but also I loved just wandering around the ancient city of Tarragona where the weather was perfect and the culture was amazing. I got to put my feet in the Mediterranean as well as ride in a sailboat.
Three-year-old Ruby adores anything Halloween. She enjoys watching anything Halloween-related on tv, especially ‘Baby Shark Halloween’. She loves (trying!) to read - books and stuffed animals make her so happy! Some of Rubys favourite foods are bananas, sandwiches, ham, and goldfish.
Dream Kid Chad is a typical 13-year-old. He’s got a great sense of humour and he does well in school. His favourite subject is science, aside from shops and gym. He’s quite active and loves riding his bike.
At two years old, Kendall was like most kids her age. She was active, bubbly, and loved being outside. But Kendall also had a noticeable red mark between her right eye and the bridge of her nose.
