Give Caden a Chance at 100% Oxygen and a Healthier Future!

Hello everyone,

Our son, Caden, is 11 years old and has been fighting since the day he was born.

Caden was born with a congenital heart defect and underwent open-heart surgery as a newborn. While that surgery saved his life, it was not a complete repair. For the last 11 years, Caden has lived with oxygen levels around 80%, something most of us could never imagine facing every day.

In the coming months, Caden will undergo another major heart surgery. This procedure is expected to significantly improve his heart function and increase his oxygen levels to nearly 100%, giving him the opportunity for a healthier future and a better quality of life.

As parents, we will be taking time away from work to be at Caden's bedside throughout surgery, hospitalization, and recovery. Our focus needs to be on supporting our son during one of the most important moments of his life, but the loss of income during that time will place a significant financial strain on our family.

We are hoping to raise $20,000 to help cover:

- Lost income while caring for Caden during recovery

- Travel expenses to and from the hospital

- Meals and lodging during hospital stays

- Medical-related expenses not covered by insurance

- Household bills and daily living expenses while we are away from work

Anyone who knows Caden knows he is a strong, resilient, and determined young man. He has faced challenges since birth with courage and a smile, and now he has another opportunity to improve his health and future.

If you are able to donate, no matter the amount, our family would be deeply grateful. If you cannot donate, sharing this fundraiser and keeping Caden in your thoughts and prayers would mean the world to us.

Thank you for helping our family focus on what matters most.. giving Caden the best chance at a long, healthy life.

With gratitude,

Jon, Kaity, and Family
