Help Baby Santi Fight for His Heart

Santi is just 1½ years old—a sweet, curious, and joyful little boy whose smile can light up an entire room. But right now, Santi is facing the biggest challenge of his young life. He’s at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital receiving treatment for a serious heart condition that requires specialized care and constant monitoring.

His loving parents, Hiram and Rosa, have been by his side day and night, holding his tiny hands, whispering words of comfort, and praying for his healing. Santi also has two big brothers, Jace and Romeo, who adore him and miss having their little brother home. This journey has been incredibly hard on them, too—they’re trying to be strong while their family’s world has been turned upside down.

The emotional, physical, and financial toll on the family is immense. Between medical expenses, travel, time away from work, and the uncertainty of what comes next, the support of friends, family, and kind-hearted strangers means the world.

Your generosity will help cover:
• Medical bills and ongoing treatment costs
• Travel and lodging near the hospital
• Everyday expenses for the family during this difficult time

Santi may be small, but his courage is enormous. With your help, we can give him the best chance at recovery and ensure Hiram, Rosa, Jace, and Romeo can focus on what matters most—being together and supporting Santi.

Every donation, no matter the size, makes a difference. Please keep Santi and his family in your thoughts and prayers, and share his story to help us reach as many hearts as possible.

❤️ Thank you for standing with Santi, Hiram, Rosa, Jace, and Romeo.
