Nate's Pool
Nate's Pool
Nate is a fun-loving, cheeky 8-year-old boy with a rare genetic condition called Apert Syndrome, a disorder that causes the bones in his skull, fingers, toes, elbows, and shoulders to fuse together before birth.
Since the moment he arrived in the world, Nate has faced challenges far beyond his years. He has already undergone more than twelve surgeries, including three major skull operations, and he spends countless hours at Perth Children’s Hospital for ongoing treatment and specialist appointments.
Yet when you meet Nate, you'll see that nothing slows him down. Despite the physical limitations he lives with daily, he approaches life with courage, curiosity, and an infectious determination. He's bright, energetic, and absolutely adores being with his two older brothers, always finding creative ways to join their adventures and keep up with their fun.
For Nate, the family swimming pool is one of the few places where he feels completely free. The water supports his body, gives him independence, and lets him move, play, and laugh without restriction. It's where he connects deeply with his brothers and where he experiences pure joy.
Having easier, safer access to the pool would transform Nate’s everyday life. It would give him the space to explore, grow, and enjoy the simple moments every child deserves.
Your support will help Nate live his best life.

A word from the family
We cannot express our heartfelt gratitude enough to Build Now, the Inspired Crusaders, and Future Pools for the incredible generosity, kindness, and hard work that made Nate's pool renovation possible.
Thanks to your support, Nate now has safe and easy access to a space that brings him so much happiness, freedom, and confidence. Seeing him independently enjoy the pool, laugh with his brothers, and simply be a carefree kid in a safe space has meant more to our family than words can truly express.
For Nate, the water is more than just fun, it's a place where he feels capable, independent, and unrestricted by the physical challenges he faces every day living with Apert Syndrome.
This renovation has not only transformed our pool, but also created a space where precious family memories will continue to be made for years to come.
We are beyond grateful to Home Group WA, Build Now and Inspired Crusaders for believing in Nate and helping make this dream a reality. Your compassion and generosity will be forever cherished.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
