Help Ethan Get Life-Saving Heart Surgery

Donation protected
My name is Flor, and I am reaching out for help as my 8-month-old baby, Ethan, prepares for heart surgery. When I was pregnant, everything seemed fine until doctors discovered Ethan had a heart problem at 27 weeks. They told me I could terminate the pregnancy, but I had already seen him on the ultrasound and felt his presence. I couldn’t imagine giving up on him, so I chose to continue, believing that God had other plans for my baby. Despite the doctors’ doubts, Ethan has made it to eight months, but now he needs surgery to ensure he can grow up healthy and strong.

This journey has been incredibly challenging for our family. As Ethan grows, he faces issues with his airway and feeding, making this surgery urgent. The costs are overwhelming—transportation to the hospital in Pennsylvania, medication, and follow-up appointments all add up quickly. I don’t have my own transportation, and my husband will be staying home with our other three children while also trying to keep up with work and utilities. We’re looking into daycare for our kids during the surgery, but it’s expensive, and I won’t be able to work while caring for Ethan during his recovery. The financial strain is more than we can manage alone.

We are asking for your support—whether through a donation or your prayers for Ethan’s surgery and our family. Your generosity means everything to us, and we are deeply grateful for any help you can give. Thank you for considering our cause, and may God bless you for your kindness.
