Support Donna and Her Family: Baby Boy's Heart Surgery
Donation protected
If you have ever stepped foot inside Hewitt Animal Hospital, you’ve likely met Donna. Donna has been with our office for 25 years, building relationships with many of our clients and patients over the years. She has become like family to many of us, and now it’s our turn to support her as she has supported each of us.
Donna’s family is facing a challenge no family should ever have to endure. Donna’s daughter is expecting her very first baby, and as many of you know, this is an incredibly exciting time. However, at 22 weeks gestation, they learned that this precious baby boy has a congenital heart defect known as hypoplastic left heart syndrome. This diagnosis will bring with it multiple medical expenses, numerous doctor’s appointments, surgeries, time away from work, and benefits that will only cover so much.
As of Friday, August 9th, Donna and her daughter will be staying in Charleston, where the baby’s medical team is located, in anticipation of the scheduled induction on August 19th, unless labor begins earlier. The baby will undergo his first of many open-heart surgeries within 24 hours of delivery, and they will be staying at the Ronald McDonald House in Charleston until at least mid-October.
At Hewitt Animal Hospital, we view each other as family. We want to support Donna and her family during this incredibly challenging time. We are reaching out to ask for your help in supporting them through your thoughts, prayers, and any donation you feel led to give.
Thank you for your kindness and generosity.
