ALG's Rally for Lilli after Emergency Brain Surgery

Attention ALG Family,

One of our cherished clients out of our Chicago / Corporate office; from Opto International is facing an incredibly difficult time. On the morning of July 18th, her grand-daughter, Lilliana ("Lilli")(Age 7), suffered a sudden and unexpected brain bleed that changed their world in an instant.

She was first rushed to Central DuPage Hospital and then airlifted to Lurie Children's Hospital, where she underwent emergency brain surgery to stop the bleeding and save her life. During the procedure, doctors discovered that Lilli has an AVM (arteriovenous malformation)—a rare and serious condition involving abnormal blood vessels in the brain.

Thanks to the skilled hands of her medical team, the surgery was successful, and Lilli is already showing signs of strength—squeezing hands, moving her legs, and responding to touch. She has a long road ahead, including more time in the ICU and another upcoming procedure to address the AVM.

As Lilli continues to fight and recover, we at ALG Worldwide want to come together to support the Valentino family. We’ve created this GoFundMe to help ease the financial burdens of extended hospital stays, daily expenses, meals, and travel needs during this challenging time.

If you feel led, please consider donating—no amount is too small. Even a simple share or word of encouragement / prayers makes a HUGE difference.

Let’s come together as the ALG family and surround Lilli and her loved ones with the care and support they need right now.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Your ALG Team
