The Wagga girl and her family are the recipients of a random act of kindness from South Wagga Rotary and Country Hope.
Her home has been transformed with little disruption to allow Eve to have her own bedroom.
And organisers said there could be no worthier recipient.
Four-year-old Eve suffers from autoimmune diseases, early onset bowel disease and a bladder syndrome.
She has slept in the same room as her parents since she was born as she needs constant monitoring while she sleeps because she can stop breathing.
“It was very hard, we didn’t get much sleep,” Eve’s mum, Fran, said.
Her bedroom is too far for her parents to get to her speedily during the night so South Wagga Rotary and Country Hope assisted to renovate the home.
They knocked down a wall to join Eve’s room with her parents’, painted the rooms and installed new carpet and cupboards.
Bostock Joinery installed the cupboards for free and Country Hope director Kerry Pascoe oversaw the construction.
“We had so many people wanting to help,” Country Hope chairman and South Wagga Rotarian, Kerry Flinn, said.
