ABOUT
Why Amarli Army was created...
Welcome to the Amarli Army - a community built on love, courage and hope, inspired by the incredible strength of Amarli Broome. Amarli is a beautiful young girl from Wollongong, NSW, living with GRIK2, a rare and complex genetic disorder. Despite the daily challenges she faces - including epilepsy, respiratory difficulties, & motor impairments, Amarli meets each day with remarkable resilience & a radiant spirit that touches everyone around her. What began as a small foundation in Amarli’s name has grown into a heartfelt movement. The Amarli Army stands beside families like hers, offering support and raising vital funds for initiatives like the i98FM Illawarra Convoy and the Illawarra Community Foundation. These funds help provide critical medical care, cover essential living costs, and bring relief to those navigating life with significant health challenges. We also partner with organizations such as the Cure GRIN Foundation to support groundbreaking research into children’s rare genetic conditions. At the heart of the Amarli Army is a deep belief in the power of community, compassion, and the possibility of brighter tomorrows. Whether through a donation, sharing Amarli’s story, or lending your time, you can help us bring comfort, hope, and healing to those who need it most. Join us—and be part of something truly meaningful.

Amarli's Progress
After spending a large part of her 7 years either in Wollongong or Randwick Kids hospitals, Amarli was making great progress until August of 2023 whereby she deteriorated with severe respiratory issues. She spent two days at home over xmas but ended up back at Sydney Kids. She has had a number of visits since, each time amazing everyone with her strength. Amarli is now at home being cared for by her dedicated parents Jade & Lee, extended family, expert army of medical specialists, physiotherapists and dedicated army of carers including Sarah, Steph, Louise, Ollie & Pree who are all working together as a team and cheering her on...
