Help support Ronnie and his family
Donation protected
Hello my name is Paula and I am posting this fundraiser on behalf of my sister in law Diane and her son Ronnie. When Ronnie was born he aspirated on amniotic fluid and that unfortunately further progressed into issues with feeding and breathing and he spent a bit of time in the NICU, upon further examination they discovered that he had a congenital heart defect that is going to require surgery.
Ronnie has a condition called coarctation of the aorta. He is going to require a surgery in the next few weeks (the doctors are trying to wait so he can be a little older and grow a little more). As long as everything goes as planned, the surgery will require that he be hospitalized for up to a week and then recovery protocols for another 4-6 weeks at home. In addition to Ronnie and his surgery, Diane also has an 11 year old son at home to take care of and I would love to raise some funds so that she can focus on her boys and not have to stress over money and bills during this time, as most of her PTO has been depleted due to just having Ronnie and being off for his birth. Any help you can give is very much appreciated. I will provide updates on Ronnie as they come up. If you are unable to donate, a share would be appreciated just as much! Thank you so much.
