Donation protected
On behalf of the LuQue-Ruvalcaba family, we are asking for your help and support.  Their beautiful 6 week old daughter, Ava Francis Ruvalcaba, has recently been diagnosed with Type 1 Spinal Muscular Atrophy.

SMA (spinal muscular atrophy) is a genetic disease that robs individuals of their physical strength by affecting the motor nerve cells in the spinal cord, taking away their ability to eat, walk, or breathe. It is the number one genetic cause of death for infants.

Alex and Jenna are beyond  devastated, but are keeping strong for their beautiful daughter Ava who was born on December 28, 2016.  Even though she will only be with us for a short time, it is amazing how many lives she has touched with her bright eyes and big smile. She has brightened our lives forever.

Alex and Jenna are greatly appreciative of all of the support through prayers and well wishes pouring in from family and friends.  All of you will continue to be a great factor in the healing process for the family, and they cannot be more grateful for the love they are surrounded by.

Many people whose lives have been touched by this sweet girl have asked how they can help. We are hoping to provide the family with the support necessary for Alex and Jenna to spend as much time with Ava as possible without financial worry. Any support is greatly appreciated.
