Help Baby Archie Ray Fight Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS)
On July 10th, Anna and Tommy welcomed their beautiful baby boy, Archie Ray Coon, into the world.
Before he was born, Archie was diagnosed with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS), a rare and serious form of Congenital Heart Disease (CHD) that affects normal blood flow through the heart.
- At only 14 days old, Archie underwent the first of three open-heart surgeries.
- Either during or shortly after, Archie suffered a stroke which was followed by seizures and vocal paralysis.
He has been in the Neonatal ICU since birth, fighting bravely every single day.
While Archie’s heart and lung functions are currently stable, his tiny body is struggling to gain weight.
Because of this, he remains dependent on multiple breathing supports and cannot yet begin the weaning process.
His care team anticipates that he may need to stay hospitalized for another month or more.
The hospital is three hours away from home, and this distance has added emotional and financial strain to an already difficult journey. Anna, Archie’s mom, is by his bedside every day, while Tommy, his dad, is working and maintaining the home, only able to visit on weekends.
While we have been combining resources as a family for the last two months, the time has come to reach out to our communities and ask for help.
We are raising funds to help support:
- Travel and lodging expenses for Anna and Tommy
- Meals and daily living costs during Archie’s hospital stay
- Medical bills and ongoing care needs
Archie Ray is a fighter, our little heart warrior, and his strength inspires us all.
Your support—whether through a donation or by sharing this page—means the world to our family.
As a grandmother, watching my daughter and son-in-law navigate this journey with courage and grace has been both heartbreaking and humbling. Archie Ray has already shown us what it means to be resilient, and we believe in his strength and in the power of community.
If you feel moved to help, know that your kindness is not just a gift, it’s a lifeline.
Thank you for standing with us, praying for us, and believing in Archie’s fight.
From Our Hearts to Yours
