Elias
Elias is a sweet, funny, and incredibly smart young boy who faced a left optic nerve glioma with remarkable courage. He loves Super Mario and Superman. His very first wish was simple and full of heart, a dining room table so his family could share meals and make memories together. The Foundation later brought him into a real life Mario world, complete with a Nintendo Switch, a two seater car, and a day of pure joy, and funded Child Life therapy so he could face hospital procedures with far less fear.

Elias’s Wish - Real Life Mario World
Elias is sweet and funny and incredibly smart. He loves Super Mario and Superman, and we had the joy of making his wish come true.
He stepped into a real-life Mario world and met Mario himself. He left with a Nintendo Switch, a two-seater car, fun toys, and tons of love from our Rylee Grace team.

Elias Receives Child Life Therapy
Elias is receiving child life therapy funded by the Rylee Grace Foundation. In a calm, supportive way, he’s learning what to expect during an upcoming hospital procedure, right down to how the oxygen mask works. These sessions ease fear and build understanding. They help stop trauma before it ever starts.
