Hi friends, family, and kindhearted strangers,
Thank you for taking a moment to read this.

We’re reaching out today to invite you into something very personal and deeply important to us— the fight for our son Ablaze’s life.

Ablaze is our joyful, bright, and brave 2-year-old boy. What we thought was a simple case of bronchopneumonia turned into something far more serious when his oxygen levels wouldn’t stabilize. After more tests, we received news no parent ever wants to hear: Ablaze has been diagnosed with Atrioventricular Septal Defect (AVSD) — a congenital heart condition that affects both the chambers and the valves of his heart.

As soon as his lungs fully recover, Ablaze must undergo cardiac catheterization and open heart surgery. It’s the only way to save his life and give him the chance to grow up strong and healthy.

This has shaken us to the core. But even in this storm, we are anchored in hope and faith—believing that God is with us and that He works through people like you.

Now, we need your help to continue this journey toward life.
We are prayerfully and humbly raising $40,000 to cover the cost of his surgery, hospital stay, and post-operative care.

✨ Here’s how you can be part of Ablaze’s story:
Donate any amount — every gift brings us one step closer to healing
Share this campaign with your family, friends, and social circles
Pray for Ablaze’s healing, strength for our family, and wisdom for his doctors

Your support means the world to us. Truly. Whether it’s a dollar, a prayer, or simply sharing Ablaze’s story, you are helping write a chapter of hope, healing, and God’s faithfulness in his young life.

“Even the darkness will not be dark to You… the night will shine like the day.” — Psalm 139:11–12

Thank you for walking this journey with us.
With love, faith, and endless gratitude,
-- Ablaze’s Family
