Help Elliot Thrive Through Medical Challenges

Donation protected
Hello, my name is Elliot Diodene, and I truly appreciate you taking a moment to read my story. I was born on August 6, 2024, to my loving parents, Austin and Hailey Diodene. I was born with a rare condition called Gastroschisis, which means my intestines grew outside of my body. There have been many obstacles that have slowed the typical recovery process. I’ve undergone seven surgeries so far, with more needed to close my abdomen. Until then, I am fighting my way home. I may be small, but I am strong, and I am a child of God who is deeply loved by my family.
My surgeons say I will be here for a few more months. Funds will be used to help cover the overwhelming medical expenses for my ongoing care. We also hope to raise enough to support my parents, who are staying with me around the clock to ensure I receive the care I need every day.
To the friends and family who have supported my healing through prayers and financial contributions, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Your love and support are truly needed, and we hope I can come home for the holidays.
Please share my story to raise awareness and help support the financial needs required for the best medical care.

Love,

Elliot
