Hope and Care for Charli’s Heart Journey

Donation protected
Help Charli, Our Brave 5-Year-Old Heart Warrior.
-Charli was born with congenital heart disease (single ventricle), asplenia, and heterotaxy. From the very start, she’s been through so much:
• Norwood procedure 4 days after birth
• G-tube placement shortly after
• Glenn procedure at 6 months
• Valve banding in 2023
• 5 heart caths so far
Now, Charli faces another heart cath with extra electrical procedures that will require much longer anesthesia than usual, as she prepares for her next major surgery: the Fontan heart procedure.
Adding to the challenge, her health insurance has been denied by TennCare, which claims the family makes “too much” on a single income. Efforts to qualify through Katie Beckett have failed twice, despite Charli being clearly disabled. Advocates, lawyers, and even the governor’s office are involved—but coverage still isn’t approved.
The cost of Charli’s medical care is overwhelming, and her family needs help to cover these life-saving procedures and support her every step of the way. Every donation, no matter the size, brings hope and care to this courageous little girl.
Please help Charli keep fighting and smiling
