Help Heal Mathis’s Heart

Donation protected
Little Mathis was born on January 23 with several heart issues that require at least two surgeries, the most critical of which is to repair an aorta that is too narrow to sustain his young life. 

This precious newborn is on NICU life support, as surgeons plan to repair his damaged heart. Meanwhile, he has yet to meet his three anxious brothers, and his young, single-income family’s costs are becoming exorbitant.

Mathis’s family and friends are asking for your help! Parents Sarah and Dan are actively seeking ways to lower their share of Mathis’s medical costs but still need much help.

We greatly appreciate the scores of friends and family who have already stepped forward with meals, groceries, and gifts for Mathis’s brothers—and hundreds more with prayers for the family—but YOUR assistance is needed!

For those unfamiliar with GoFundMe, your credit card donation is completely secure, and you will receive verification of it for your records. Our goal is to raise $20,000. In the highly unlikely event that donations exceed costs, any excess will be donated to the Ronald McDonald House Charities, which has graciously provided housing and meals to Sarah and Dan during this difficult time.

Many of you know the anguish of watching your child suffer. With that in mind, we thank you for helping mend Mathis’s broken heart.

Thank you—and may God bless you!
