About Us

My name is Avayha. I am 9 years old. I am a middle child of 10 kids.

I live at home with my mom and 4 of my siblings.

 I have a baby brother, and he was born different but perfect! He is deaf, and he has Lissencephaly.

 Lissencephaly is a rare terminal malformation of the brain.

 We found out that Elijah was not going to be with us long. 

 My mom decided we were going to the ocean. I saw the sea for the first time and was baptized in it. 

 

That’s when we started Elijah’s Baby Bucket List.

 

 We were traveling all over, and he really loves art and history museums.

 

We like to go on adventures!

 So I started selling lemonade. That way, someday I can take him to Paris! 

 

He loves watching me draw and paint!

We can drink lemonade and see all the art and history there and make memories before he goes. 

 

St. Louis Art Museum! One of our favorite places!

I made some money with my lemonade stand, then Covid started. I used my money and started this site.

I have spent the last year learning how to make an online store. 

 

 

 I hope someday that I can make enough to show him the world! 

He is my hero and always reminds me to chose joy every day!

 

He is my superhero!
