Corinne Schiavone "Coco" Emergency Fund
Donation protected
Corinne Schiavone, "Coco" was born 9.22.19 healthy and happy. On 10.9.19 she was taken to the Dr because she had labored breathing. She was then sent to UC Davis Medical Center where after a number of tests it was identified that she has a very serious condition called, Dilated Cardiomyopathy - essentially her heart is failing her. She has been in the PICU (Pediatric Intensive Care Unit) since.
At this point, it looks like Coco's future will require a heart transplant. We have an amazing team of Drs at UC Davis who are collaborating with experts at Stanford on Coco's care. The current goal is to try and get Coco stable enough that she can live at home for a few months prior to surgery as the outcome of that surgery improves the older she gets. It goes without saying, our family is devastated and we've set up a GoFundMe to help the Schiavone family cover just the short run cost of supporting Coco. We're not focused on the long term medical bills at this point as those will present their own challenges, but for the short run we're looking for small donations ($1, 5, 10) to help us cover the cost of 1 parent no longer working (to care for Coco), AirBNB/ hotel near the hospital, child care for their other two daughters, food and other basics. Again, we're not looking for big donations, anything helps and prayers, thoughts and well wishes are always appreciated in lieu of financial support. We're hoping we can get this message of need out to as broad of an audience as possible so please share with your own networks if you feel compelled to do so.
We are staying positive and hopefully the treatment plans will be successful and when they are, the Schiavone's will have a very long road to recovery and again, this fund will help cover basic needs to support them through this journey.
If you are in the Sacramento area and can support with in person child care (for their two other daughters, 4 and 2) or meals please reach out via the GoFundMe contact option.
Thank you
