Baby Olivia

Update:

On March 8th, at 12 days old, Olivia Karly Moore got to go outside and feel the fresh air and sunshine on her face. She was embraced warmly by Mom, Dad and family until her very last moment.

There may be a memorial service in the future but please provide the family and loved ones with privacy at this time as they continue to adjust to their new reality. Olivia made such a profound impact in her short time on Earth. May our sunshine girl continue to live on in all of the hearts she so deeply touched.

On February 26th at 5:12am, Katie & Tim Moore welcomed their baby girl Olivia Karly Moore, 5 weeks early. Although an early arrival like this would usually only merit some additional screening and special preemie care, Olivia was life-flighted to UCSF. After many sleepless nights, countless tests and many invasive procedures, Olivia's diagnosis has been determined as a gene mutation known as Alveolar Capillary Dysplasia with misalignment of pulmonary veins. Less than 200 cases have ever been discovered and at this time, there are no other additional interventions available. Olivia has been given days, weeks or at most a month to live and the family has been asked to prepare for end of life care.

This extensive specialized care for Olivia has put an immense emotional and financial strain on not only Katie & Tim but their supporting family as well. The funds from these donations will be used to pay for living expenses while in SanFrancisco as well as lessen the financial stress of impending medical debt for an impossible situation.

No one should ever have to come home without their baby but this is the reality Katie & Tim are facing. Please donate what you can to show support for this devastating time and most of all, respect the families privacy at this time.
