Hello, my name is Mariah. I am creating this fundraiser on behalf of my daughter, Aniyah Ortega, who was diagnosed with Single Ventricle, DILV, LTGA, VSD, with a Hypoplastic Arch while at my ultrasound between 18-24 weeks pregnant. She was born on August 18, 2022, in New Orleans, Louisiana.

Aniyah has undergone many operations and many hospitalizations over the last 3 years and also takes daily medication to ensure her heart functions properly.

She had her first open-heart surgery at a week old (BT Shunt) and her second open-heart surgery at a month old (Glenn procedure) in 2022. As she is looking to have a cath procedure done on March 30, 2026, as well as her third open-heart surgery (Fontan procedure) on March 31, 2026, if you find it in your hearts, I am looking to raise funds to help cover her medical expenses and daily living costs. If you cannot help, it’s okay. I ask that prayers are being sent to me and my family as we go through this difficult time. Any support you can provide is deeply appreciated.
