Help Baby Bryson Through Open Heart Surgery

Dear friends, family, and kind-hearted supporters,

We are reaching out on behalf of our close friends, Chad and Jenna Calcaterra, whose sweet 11-month-old son, Bryson, is facing open heart surgery on May 29th.

Bryson was born with a congenital heart defect, and while his parents have managed his care with love and strength, the time has come for a critical surgery to give him the chance at a full, healthy life. Luckily, Bryson has been asymptomatic to this point, but the hole in his heart will need to be fixed to ensure his valves function properly as long as possible.

As family friends, we’ve witnessed just how much love surrounds this little boy — and how overwhelming the road ahead is. The emotional and financial toll of a major surgery like this is immense: time away from work, medical costs, and the strain of holding everything together while staying focused on Bryson’s recovery.

We’re creating this fundraiser to help ease that burden so Chad and Jenna can focus on what matters most: being present for Bryson every step of the way.

All donations will go directly toward:

    •    Bryson’s medical expenses and recovery care

    •    Lost income while taking time off work

    •    Daily essentials to keep their home running during this critical time

If you’re able to give, know that every dollar truly helps. If you can’t donate, please share this page and keep Bryson and his family in your prayers and thoughts as they prepare for May 29.

Let’s surround them with the love, hope, and support they need during this fight.

With love and gratitude,

Gaby Salmonson
