Help Ava Through Her Second Brain Surgery & Recovery

Our sweet daughter Ava has already been through brain surgery once. After months in the hospital, she finally came home, and for a brief moment, life felt normal again.

But after only a few short months, our world was turned upside down once more—Ava needs another brain surgery.

In just six months, Ava is now preparing to face her second brain surgery, followed by a hospital stay of at least two months, and then a long, demanding recovery afterward. This recovery will require close medical follow-ups, therapies, and round-the-clock care as her body and brain heal.

No child should ever have to endure this. Yet Ava continues to show strength, courage, and resilience beyond her years.

While our focus is completely on Ava’s health and healing, the emotional and financial strain on our family is overwhelming. Extended hospital stays, travel back and forth, time away from work, recovery care at home, and ongoing medical needs all add up quickly—especially as we walk this road for the second time in such a short period.

We are asking for help to:

Cover medical and hospital expenses

Assist with travel, meals, and lodging during a 2+ month hospital stay

Offset lost income while we remain by Ava’s side

Support post-surgery recovery needs, therapies, and follow-up care

Help provide Ava with comfort, stability, and the care she needs to heal

Most importantly, we ask for prayers—for steady hands for her surgeons, protection over Ava throughout surgery and recovery, and strength and peace for our entire family.
