Help Baby Talia Survive Life-Threatening Complications

Talia was born on June 16, 2025, in Lebanon with a severe congenital heart defect called Truncus Arteriosus Type 3. She has been on oxygen support since birth, and on July 31, she underwent urgent heart surgery to save her life.

While the surgery corrected her heart, her pulmonary arteries are very tight, and her lungs are still under extreme stress, causing dangerously high pulmonary pressure. She remains in the NICU on breathing support and a critical medication. Doctors recommend at least another month of intensive care to give her lungs a chance to recover and allow her to breathe on her own.

The cost of this additional care is around $10,000 USD, an amount her family cannot cover given Lebanon’s ongoing economic crisis. All of Talia’s medical reports are available for review. Key details are summarized here.

We are reaching out with hope and gratitude. Every donation, no matter how small, will go directly toward Talia’s NICU care and medication.

Disclaimer: I am only helping organize this fundraiser. I am not the beneficiary of the funds, and all donations go directly to cover Talia’s medical expenses in Lebanon.

Please consider donating and sharing this page with your networks. Together, we can help Talia keep fighting.

With heartfelt thanks
