Olivia
Age 8
Connecticut Children's Medical Center
Multiple Organ Defects
Olivia’s got talent! From hip-hop dance moves to piano performances, Olivia knows how to put on a show. She loves choir and participates in drama club, where she recently played a Scottish Terrier in the school’s production of “101 Dalmatians.”
Born with multiple organ defects, it’s a miracle Olivia is alive today. To date, she has undergone three surgeries and will need more in the future. But her spunky personality can’t help but shine through, even when faced with hard times. During one hospital visit someone made the mistake of mentioning that Olivia was sick; she was quick to respond that she just needed her heart fixed.
Olivia’s condition is not cured, and she will need continued cardiologic care. In spite of her obstacles, or maybe because of them, Olivia is as bright-eyed and spirited as ever. Her attitude and talents continue to inspire others to always achieve their best.
