Meet Olivia

Olivia’s had asthma since she was a baby, and it hasn’t been mild.

There’s been plenty of hospital visits along the way… the kind where you’re sitting there just hoping things settle and she can breathe properly again.

Her parents have done everything they’re supposed to do. Doctors, medications, follow-ups. It’s not from lack of trying — it just never fully settles.

They’re now looking at a breathing therapy called Buteyko. Not a cure, not replacing anything — just something that might help her manage things a bit better.

There’s no set number of visits either. It depends how Olivia responds.

It’s not funded.

It just sits there in that space where you either find a way to cover it… or you don’t try it at all.

That’s where our $1 a week warriors come in — filling the gap where nothing else does.
