ELI'S STORY
Eli’s Story: Strength in the
Face of TSC
Eli is a joyful, resilient boy from Cincinnati diagnosed with Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC)—a rare disorder causing benign tumors to grow in vital organs. His diagnosis brought seizures, therapies, surgeries, and uncertainty. But with the support of his family and community, Eli continues to thrive.
His journey revealed a gap: families like his are often financially overwhelmed, emotionally isolated, and unsure where to turn. That’s why the Eli TSC Hope Fund was born—to ensure no family faces TSC alone.
When life challenged Eli, it lit a fire in us to create something bigger than ourselves. His strength sparked a movement—one rooted in compassion, resilience, and the belief that no one should face the hardest days alone.
