Canaan's Fight: NICU and Beyond

Donation protected

Hi everyone, to those who don't know me, my name is Briana McMahon, and I’m reaching out with a humble heart to ask for help for my son, Canaan.


Canaan was born on January 31st, 2025 at just 27 weeks gestation, weighing only 1 lb 15 oz. Since the moment he arrived, he’s been fighting for his life. He's spent every day in the NICU, where he continues to face serious health challenges.


At just 2 weeks old, Canaan underwent a heart procedure, at 6 months old he got a Tracheotomy, and now he has to have surgery to receive a G-tube a d repair 2 hernias. He has been diagnosed with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), also known as infant chronic lung disease, which has left his lungs scarred and struggling to develop.


Despite everything, Canaan is a fighter. He has a very long road ahead of him—and he won’t be able to do it without the proper medical care and equipment once he comes home.


What We Need Help With:


• Medical expenses not covered by insurance


• Home nursing care (insurance may only cover 2 days a week)


• Medical equipment Canaan will need at home


Every donation, no matter the size, will go directly toward Canaan’s care and helping me be there for him as much as possible. If you’re unable to donate, just getting the word out means the world to us.


Thank you for taking the time to read our story. Please keep Canaan in your thoughts and prayers as he continues his fight.


With love and gratitude,

Briana and Canaan
