Steve Waugh started the foundation when he retired from cricket. He started the foundation as he saw the need for a foundation to help people who have rare diseases. His foundation helps people from the ages of 0 to around 25. =====

The goals of the Steve Waugh Foundation are, to improve the quality of life for children and families affected by rare diseases and to help those people to not just ‘fall through the cracks’. One of his quotes is ‘somewhere to turn’, as when the children have diseases, they feel like they have nowhere to turn. One of his other goals is to, help improve the life of sick children. =====

The Steve Waugh Foundation helps people, aged 0-25, with rare diseases. The way they help these diseased children is, they treat the diseases, they find out what disease it is and also research what the disease is like. The way they help the children is, they pretty much save their lives, they give them guidance and they also give them resources like food and shelter if needed. =====

At six months, Liam suffered seizures and neurological damage. He was diagnosed with dystonic quadriplegic cerebral palsy, uses a wheelchair, cannot walk independently, and his arms have limited function. Despite having no intellectual disability, a sharp intelligence and strong desire to communicate with those around him, Liam’s condition makes it difficult for him to talk. Liam has relied heavily on sign language to get his message across. =====

=
Through donations, the Steve Waugh Foundation provided Liam with a state-of-the-art audio communication device that lets Liam be understood by his family and friends, as well as being able to participate in mainstream classroom with his peers. =====

It was truly heart-warming to watch Liam find his voice for the first time, and finally the world is getting to see his shining personality. Liam has a wicked, mischievous streak and great sense of humour, now we can’t get him to stop talking! =====
