Help Arlo's family give back to OSF and get away
Donation protected
Hi, my name is Katelyn Reynolds. I am starting this GOFUNDME for one of my best friends, Kylie Focci. Kylie and her significant other, David, found out that their baby, Arlo, was going to have a rare genectic disorder called Digeorge Syndrome early on in her pregnancy. This syndrome caused Arlo to have a very complex heart and brain condition. At birth Arlo was rushed to the NICU where he stayed for three months. Kylie and David took turns in the NICU with Arlo while juggling work and caring for their oldest boy, Elliot. We were all so happy when Arlo was able to come home, but were heartbroken again when he ended up in the PICU with hydrocephalus. Arlo battled many episodes and was taken care of by many excellent nurses and physicians at OSF Children's Hospital of Illinois. Sadly, Arlo passed away this week. After almost 8 months, I just want this family to be able to be together and heal together. Also, Kylie and David want to give back to the hospital that took such great care of their little boy.
