Andrea, is a 30-year-old mother of four beautiful children, ranging in ages from just 1.5 years old to 11 years old.

She wrote that their “lives took an unexpected turn when I went from being a dedicated professional, preparing to deliver a keynote speech at a prestigious conference, to a hospital patient, facing a terminal cancer diagnosis.”

Her health rapidly declined coinciding with multiple surgeries, pancreatitis, recurrent infections, chemotherapy and immunotherapy complications, and low blood counts which made her journey even more challenging.

Andrea said, “Despite my ongoing battle, I remain hopeful and committed to creating unforgettable memories with my family. As a lifelong Disney fan, my dream has always been to take my children to Walt Disney World. However, given the circumstances, I’ve had to reimagine this dream and bring it closer to home, creating a magical Disney-inspired staycation in Sydney.”

Dream Maker Louise was so happy to help Andrea achieve her dream for her family – with a special stay at Taronga Zoo and some surprise gifts from Disney and Lagardere AWPL hand delivered to the Wildlife Retreat.

Andrea added  “This dream is not only achievable but will allow us to create cherished memories together as a family. To turn this dream into a reality and to experience the joy and magic of Disney right here in Sydney…would be truly life-changing for me and my children.”
