Hi, my name is Celeste, and I am the mom of my miracle baby girl, Bre’Ella. Bre’Ella was born at just 33 weeks and 3 days, weighing only 4 lbs 4 oz. She has been fighting for her life since the moment she entered this world.
Bre’Ella was born with multiple complex medical conditions including heterotaxy (organs in different places than normal), short bowel syndrome (after multiple bowel surgeries leaving her with only 53 cm of small intestine), a complete atrioventricular canal defect with double outlet right ventricle, and severe pulmonary stenosis. She has endured multiple surgeries — including bowel resections, reanastomosis, and PDA stent placements — and has been TPN dependent to survive (iv nutrition). She’s also oxygen dependent off and on.
She continues to face GI issues, heart challenges, and feeding complications — but she is a fighter, and she keeps proving to us that she is meant to be here.
As her mom, I want nothing more than to focus on her care and give her the love and support she needs to keep fighting. But the financial strain is heavy. Between hospital stays, medical appointments, transportation needs, and simply keeping up with food and daily expenses, I am struggling to make ends meet. We also do not currently have a vehicle, which makes traveling back and forth for appointments and emergencies extremely hard.
This fundraiser will go toward:
transportation so we can get Bre’Ella to and from the hospital safely.
Groceries and basic needs while I am spending most of my time in the hospital.
Help with bills and expenses that keep piling up while I am unable to work.
Bre’Ella has already overcome so much — she is my little warrior, my miracle. If you can donate, no matter the amount, it would mean the world to us. If you cannot donate, please share our story and keep Bre’Ella in your prayers.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for helping us stay strong and keep fighting for Bre’Ella’s future.
The doctors gave her 7/8 years to live but it’s all in gods hands.
Little more personal information I mom am 20 years old I also have a four year old named Willow who I had at 16. Before Bre was born I spent everyday with Willow but since Bre has been born I have been in the hospital with her so Willow is honestly going through it and without having a vehicle I can’t just go see Willow when I want. I just want to be able to split myself and my time but I can’t sadly I’m just hoping Willow doesn’t hold a grudge due to her not getting as much attention don’t get me wrong she loves her baby sister and she definitely misses her during our prolonged hospitalizations.
If you could please help us this world hasn’t been easy on us and Ik it’s due to some decisions I’ve made but god gave me two of the most precious gifts and I have to try my hardest for them so that’s why I’m turning to the public/ world for help..
