In Memory of Koa Who’s Life Was Short But Filled With Love

Koa Hardy Simmons was born on April 9, 2023 (Easter Sunday) - he was premature due to a build up of ammoniac fluid from a placenta chorioanigma. He came at 25 weeks gestation and spent 315 days in the NICU/PICU on Kaiser Sunset Los Angeles CA. When he came home he was placed on a ventilator via tracheostomy because at birth he was diagnosed with BPD (Chronic Lung Disease).

He came home Feb 19 and spent almost a full two months at home with his mother, Haylee. On March 29, 2024 he turned unconscious for roughly 45 minutes which led him to be hospitalized again at the Children’s Hospital for about two weeks. Due to lack of oxygen there wasn’t much brain activity left soluble therefore he was placed to rest on April 12, 2024 at 4:45 pm.

I am starting this fundraiser to honour the life of this beautiful baby boy who has gone home to meet the Lord. No amount of money will bring him back but at least his mother and the family will have help as they overcome and get through this unthinkable time. PLEASE donate whatever you can and pray for this beautiful family.
