Help baby Moon fight his scary battles

Donation protected
First of all, thanks to everyone for taking the time to read this!
Hi there everyone, my name is Moon Yaj. I was born August 23rd, 2022. My mommy had a very difficult pregnancy which put her at high risk and therefore made her unable to finish work all the way through. I was diagnosed with Vacterl Association, each letter in VACTERL stands for a different birth defect. V is for vertebral defects, A is for anal atresia, C is for cardiac defects, T and E are for tracheoesophageal fistula, R is for renal anomalies and L is for limb abnormalities. In order to be diagnosed, you need to have at least 3 of the 7 letters and I have 5 (V, C, T, E & L). At just 2 days old I had my first scary surgery to get a g tube placed because my esophagus wasn't connected to my stomach which made it impossible for me to eat by mouth. They also repaired my annular pancreas. At one week old they had to repair my tracheoesophageal fistula because I became unable to breathe on my own, so i had a breathing tube. It is very common to have complications with narrowing of the esophagus in the future which would mean more procedures.
My next big scary surgery is going to be an open heart surgery and I will still need multiple surgeries after that (possibly another heart surgery as well as corrective surgeries on my limbs). I was supposed to have my surgery in the beginning of December but I contracted RSV and had to be in the Cardiac ICU for awhile..which was scary. Daddy was very sad he couldn't be there with me. Now my surgery will have to wait until my tiny little body is strong enough!
Mommy is at home full time so she can love and support me through all these scary surgeries and be there when I'm sick but Mommy and Daddy unfortunately weren't able to save up enough money for everything that is going on now and in the future. Daddy is working so very hard so me and Mommy have a home to come home to but it's very hard for everything to be on just him. With your support, maybe we could take some of that financial worry off of Daddy's shoulders and allow him to be able to be there with me and Mommy too for my surgeries.
Any help is so very much appreciated so thank you for any and all help you're willing to give!
