In Support of Elaine Dionne

Meet Elaine Dionne, a bright and beautiful 2 year old with a smile that lights up every room. Elaine experienced HIE (Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy) at birth and has since been navigating life with epilepsy and cerebral palsy. Despite her challenges, Elaine is full of life, determination, and joy.
Elaine’s care team has recommended intensive physical therapy at NAPA in North Carolina to help her build strength, mobility, and the greatest level of independence possible. She’ll be working with the incredible therapists known for helping children like Elaine achieve major breakthroughs.
Unfortunately, insurance does not cover most of the cost of these intensives. We are raising $14,000 to cover two sessions over the next year, plus travel expenses.
Why now? Time is critical. These treatments are only available to children under a certain weight and age, so this window of opportunity is small. Getting Elaine in as soon as possible gives her the best chance to thrive.
We (Elaine’s mom and dad) will be posting regular updates here as Elaine continues her journey.
Thank you for reading, sharing, and supporting our little fighter. Your help truly means the world.

Thank you.
