Ethan

In January 2020, when Ethan’s mom, Allison, noticed he was tired most of the time and falling asleep on the car ride home after school every day, she didn’t think much of it. The holiday season—a busy time for many—had just wrapped up, and everyone was feeling exhausted.

Mia, IWK patient

Mia was very particular with food and dirt when she was young. She didn’t want them on her hands or face, and she didn’t like things at the beach touching her skin.

Kyle, IWK patient

Kyle
