Proud, grateful, and incredibly humbled 💙✨
What started as a few Christmas lights has become something so much bigger. For the past four years, our family has lit up our home not just for festive joy, but to help shine a light on Rett syndrome and support vital research for our beautiful niece, Ava.
We’re so thankful to The Kids Research Institute Australia for sharing our story, and to every single person who visited, donated, shared, and supported Dimasi Xmas DeLights in 2025. Together, you helped us raise over $5,200 this year and more than $12,800 over four years — funding real research, real progress, and real hope.
This cause is close to our hearts, and knowing it contributes to better understanding, care, and future treatments for girls like Ava means everything to us.
From our family to yours — thank you for being part of this journey and for helping turn Christmas lights into lasting impact. 💫🎄
A family home. Thousands of lights. One little girl – and a powerful mission.
For the past four years, the Dimasi family has transformed their home into a dazzling Christmas lights display, not just to spread festive cheer, but to shine a light on Rett syndrome – the rare neurological condition affecting their niece, Ava.
Their 2025 Dimasi Xmas DeLights fundraiser raised more than $5,200, bringing their incredible four-year total to over $12,800 for Rett syndrome research.
Rett syndrome is caused by a rare gene mutation and affects approximately one in every 9,000 girls, with symptoms that can include seizures, breathing irregularities, scoliosis and gastrointestinal issues. Here in Western Australia, around one baby girl is born with Rett syndrome each year.
Thanks to the generosity of families like the Dimasis, our researchers can continue working to better understand Rett syndrome, improve clinical care and measurement, support parents and contribute to global efforts to find a cure.
Thank you to the Dimasi family, and to everyone who donated after visiting their spectacular display.
Your support is helping create hope for Ava and so many others.
