Help Support Alessia's Open-Heart Surgery Recovery
Donation protected

This is my daughter, Alessia. From the moment she came into this world, she has fought battles no child should have to face. Born with congenital heart disease, her journey began with a balloon angioplasty at just two years old. Recently, symptoms returned, and we found ourselves facing the unimaginable once again.
Now twelve years old, Alessia underwent an open-heart ROSS procedure—a complex and delicate surgery requiring specialized surgeons in another state. The weight of this journey has not only fallen upon her shoulders but upon my parents, who have lovingly raised her. Their devotion has been unconditional, yet the hardships have been both emotional and financial.
Medical expenses, travel costs, countless medications, recovery care, time away from work—it has all been adding up. I am humbly reaching out for help in order to ease my parents’ financial stress and support Alessia’s recovery. Every single contribution, no matter how small, will ease this struggle in ways beyond measure. Your support could bring a little light to the fight Alessia continues to face.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you.
