DREAM TRIP

TO DISNEY WORLD & GIVE KIDS THE WORLD VILLAGE

Goal: $10,000

More Than Her Diagnosis: A little girl from Conroe, Texas, who continues to defy expectations, one smile, one step, and one moment at a time.

Evelyn’s life began with a fight for survival. She was born healthy, but just days later, uncontrollable seizures sent her straight to the NICU. Soon after, she was life-flighted to a children’s hospital, where doctors diagnosed her with encephalitis, a virus that attacked her brain and left behind severe, permanent damage.

Her early days were filled with uncertainty, and she spent the beginning of her life in foster care. But the moment her family met her, everything changed.

“From the moment we met her, she stole our hearts with her infectious smile,” her mother recalls.

In March 2024, Evelyn was officially adopted, finally home, finally surrounded by the love and stability she had always deserved.

Today, Evelyn faces daily challenges that would overwhelm most. She lives with seizures, cerebral palsy, partial blindness, and cognitive delays. Her days are filled with therapies, appointments, and learning to communicate through sign language and an AAC device. Yet through it all, she radiates joy.

“Her smile & joyful spirit say more than words ever could.”

Watching her accomplish milestones they were once told might never come reminds her family just how strong she truly is.

Evelyn’s family has learned to celebrate every small victory, finding hope in moments many would overlook. “Together, we have learned how precious life truly is & how important it is to slow down & cherish the time we have with the people we love most,”‍ ‍her mom said.

Our goal? a Dream Trip that would give Evelyn and her big, loving family something truly priceless, a chance to step away from hospital rooms, tests, and treatments, and simply be together. It would be a time to dance, laugh, explore, and make memories that last a lifetime. For Evelyn, it would be a world of joy and freedom, surrounded by the people who love her most.

Her family’s greatest hope is that Evelyn continues to exude joy to everyone she meets and grow beyond expectations, knowing she is deeply loved and supported by all who believe in her future.

Reading her story, I can’t help but feel how much Evelyn teaches us about resilience, hope, and the beauty of celebrating every moment. She reminds us that even in the hardest times, joy can be found and shared.

You can be part of Evelyn’s story. Every donation, every share, and every act of kindness helps bring her closer to this dream-filled experience, one smile, one step, and one magical moment at a time.

Let’s make that DREAM TRIP happen!
