<div>Help Baby Aaria's Heart Journey
</div>
<div><br />

</div>
<div>Story:
</div>
<div>We are Aaron and Jazzlyn, parents to two beautiful girls — Zavaiya, age 4, and our newborn daughter, Aaria.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>At our 16-week ultrasound, doctors suspected something might be wrong with Aaria's heart. By 19 weeks, we had our answer: Aaria had a complex congenital heart defect. We never imagined our daughter would need open-heart surgery before she even left the hospital after birth — but that became our reality.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Aaria was born on May 26, 2026, with a rare combination of heart defects: Double Inlet Left Ventricle (DILV), Transposition of the Great Arteries (TGA), a Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD), and a Hypoplastic Aortic Arch. In simple terms, Aaria has one main pumping chamber doing the work two chambers normally do, and several of her major blood vessels formed differently before birth.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The day she was born, Aaria underwent a lifesaving Balloon Atrial Septostomy (Rashkind Procedure) to improve blood flow and oxygen to her body. At just 7 days old, she had her first open-heart surgery — the Norwood Procedure — to reconstruct her aorta and place a shunt directing blood to her lungs.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Aaria still has two more major surgeries ahead of her: the Glenn Procedure around 4–6 months old, and the Fontan Procedure between ages 2 and 4. This is a years-long journey, and we are walking it one step, one surgery, and one prayer at a time.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Right now, both Aaron and I are not working. Aaria needs round-the-clock care and constant presence at the hospital, and we also have Zavaiya, our 4-year-old, who needs her parents too.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Without income coming in, we are facing real and growing financial strain on top of an already heartbreaking medical journey.
</div>
<div>Funds raised will go toward things like:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>-Lost wages — both parents have had to step away from work to be at Aaria's bedside and care for Zavaiya
</div>
<div>-Medical bills — co-pays, deductibles, and costs not covered by insurance for Aaria's surgeries, hospital stays, and ongoing cardiology care
</div>
<div>-Travel and lodging — gas, parking, and possibly lodging for follow-up appointments and future surgeries at children's hospitals
</div>
<div>-Meals — food during long hospital days, since hospital cafeterias add up fast over weeks/months
</div>
<div>-Household bills — rent/mortgage, utilities, and basic living expenses that don't pause during a medical crisis
</div>
<div>-Childcare support for Zavaiya — so she still gets attention, routine, and care while we're focused on her sister
</div>
<div>-Aaria's ongoing care needs — medications, specialized formula or feeding supplies if needed, and equipment for home care between surgeries
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This is a years-long road, with major surgeries still ahead at 4–6 months and again between ages 2–4. Any support — big or small — helps lighten this load so we can focus on what matters most: being present for both of our daughters.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for loving our girl and our family through this. We believe God is faithful, and we've felt that faithfulness through every one of you.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong><em>"The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit."</em></strong> — Psalm 34:18
</div>
<div>With gratitude,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Aaron &amp; Jazzlyn
</div>
