Sweet baby Luca is facing something no child should ever have to endure. At just 11 weeks old, Luca was born with a hole in his heart (VSD), and it has been determined that he will need open heart surgery. In the coming weeks, Luca will undergo this critical procedure, and his mom, Jesse, will be spending long days and nights at the hospital, surrounding him with endless love and strength.

An extended hospital stay brings not only an emotional toll, but also very real practical burdens — meals, parking, lodging, missed work, and unexpected expenses quickly add up. This GoFundMe is a way for all of us to come alongside Jesse and Luca in a tangible way, helping ease the financial strain so Jesse can focus fully on what matters most: being present with her precious boy during this incredibly tender season.

This is our opportunity to love Jesse and Luca well — to support them with generosity, compassion, and hope as they walk through this challenging time with courage and faith.

If you’re able to give, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. If you’re not, please consider sharing and keeping Jesse and little Luca in your prayers. Every gift, prayer, and share means more than words can express.

Let’s surround Jesse and Luca with love as sweet Luca bravely fights.
