Ellie Kate's Butterfly Wishes 

Ellie Kate’s Butterfly Wishes was created by NKH Crusaders in loving memory of Ellie Kate McLaughlin, a brave and joyful soul who lived with NKH. Originally launched as Ellie Kate’s Wish—a holiday effort to bless a few NKH families each Christmas—it has since evolved into a year-round initiative to support families facing the financial challenges that come with this rare disease.

​Ellie Kate’s Butterfly Wishes, an NKH Crusaders initiative, provides hope and practical support to children and families facing Nonketotic Hyperglycinemia.  Honoring the life and memory of Ellie Kate, we grant wishes for vital resources and everyday essentials that significantly improve the impacted child’s quality of life.
