Help our Baby Girl: Born premature with Heart Condition & DS

Our precious daughter Eliana came into this world early-and fighting.

She was born prematurely and soon diagnosed with both Down syndrome and a serious congenital heart defect. Just weeks into her life, she underwent major heart surgery. Watching her tiny body hooked up to tubes, monitors, and machines was one of the most heartbreaking experiences of our lives.

Since then, our days have been filled with hospital visits, specialist appointments, and long nights holding her hand through recovery. Despite it all, Eliana continues to amaze us with her strength, her resilience, and the light she brings to our family.

But behind the scenes, our family is struggling.

Between unpaid time off work, travel costs to the hospital, medical bills, and daily essentials-we’re overwhelmed. We’re doing everything we can to give Eliana the care she needs, but the financial burden is more than we can carry alone.

We started this GoFundMe with humble hearts, asking for support in any way- whether it’s a donation, a share, or a kind word. Every bit helps us cover:

• Ongoing medical care & therapies

• Travel to specialists and follow-up appointments

• Basic needs while we’re out of work

• A more stable future for our daughter

If you’ve ever faced a moment where love wasn’t enough-you’ll understand how hard it is to ask for help. But here we are, trusting in the kindness of others and hoping that our daughter’s story moves a few hearts.

Thank you for reading, sharing, and standing with our family.

With gratitude,

Cynthia and Patrick
