Hatch Family Fund

When deciding to grow our family, we never thought IVF would be our only option. Then getting blessed with twins felt like the jackpot. Soon into the pregnancy though, our sweet Baby A was diagnosed with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome. A rare and very severe Congenital Heart Defect that is also know as having “half a heart” or a “blue baby”.

The left ventricle of the heart isn’t formed properly so a series of three major open heart surgeries are required to rework the right ventricle to provide oxygenated blood to the rest of the body. Not having these palliative surgeries is fatal.

William Hatch (and his twin bro, Theodore) were born on May 12, 2020, and Will was taken by ambulance to Seattle Children’s Hospital. His first open heart surgery was May 19th, and he is still inpatient until at least the end of July. His second major open heart surgery will be scheduled for fall 2020.

Open heart surgery and an extended hospitalization is not cheap... especially after the financial burden of fertility treatments that insurance didn’t help cover. Medical bills along with basic daily expenses, including bridge tolls, are adding up and with Covid 19 and social distancing , Kyle has had to reduce his work hours to help with the family at home in addition to being bedside with Will.

Please consider making a donation to our family. We are fighting for our baby boy to live, and don’t want to have to second guess his care due to financial burden.

If you cannot donate, you can help by sharing our fundraiser! Thank you so much for visiting our page!!
