Ellie Bloomfield

A family friend of Melie’s, Ellie lives with dwarfism and bravely shares how society’s perceptions of her appearance have impacted her mental health. Ellie highlights the vital role her family and the ‘Little People of NZ’ community have played in her journey. Her message is one of resilience: no matter how different you may seem, you can still live a fulfilling and happy life.
