Olivia's Fund

Olivia Reardon, daughter of Kevin Reardon and Christina Meyers, needs a very delicate surgery to treat Tracheomalacia, a condition where the cartilage that keeps the airway (trachea) open is soft...such that the trachea partly collapses, especially during increased airflow.

Olivia has been in and out of the hospital numerous times for asthma and because of her condition, is unable to expel anything from her lungs. Any sort of lung or bronchial illness becomes life-threatening for Olivia. 

Her parents are taking her to Boston in May to be evaluated for a surgical procedure that may repair the incompetent valve in her trachea.

Here is a link https://youtu.be/ArURYRYYacU  to a Youtube video to explain more about this procedure. The Reardon family will need to be in Boston for perhaps a few weeks, and we are asking people to make a donation, thereby helping to offset the cost of this surgery, airline tickets, housing while in Boston, or whatever the family needs during this time."
