Support Izabella's Fight for Breath

It's with a broken heart that I'm sharing this news.

On Saturday, August 24th at 4:50 PM our beautiful Izabella gained her wings. She was wrapped in her mother's arms and surrounded by family.

We know she is in Heaven pain free and running and laughing amongst the Angels.

Trust me when I say this....they are all up there laughing and having a good time because if you knew Bella you would know just how beautiful and infectious her laugh was.

She took a piece of us with her but she will live in our memories and hearts forever! We love you always and forever Izabella

First, I'd like to say thank you to everyone for all of your love and support. We will never be able to say thank you enough!

Now, I'd like to share an update.

As many of you may know, Izabella was able to go home for a short amount of time. Last weekend she was re-admitted into Albany Medical Center ICU. Since then her health has been declining rapidly. My sister Danyel and Bella's dad Dan have been faced with making an extremely difficult decision. A decision that no parent should ever have to make. Today 8/17, Bella has been brought home under the care of hospice. Please continue praying for Izabella and the rest of our family during this difficult time. If possible please continue to donate and please share.

My name is Carrie, I'm starting this GoFundMe to try and help my sister Danyel and my niece Izabella.

On Wednesday, July 10th Izabella was in respiratory distress and had to be airlifted to Albany medical center. She has been in the pediatric ICU battling double pneumonia, sepsis and MRSA. Her left lung was completely filled with mucus and the right lung started to rapidly fill up and then collapsed. She had to be intubated and placed on life support. They have been able to take her off of the ventilator and use other forms or breathing equipment but the doctors have informed my sister that Izabella may need to be placed back on the ventilator as she is still unable to breathe on her own. Along with all of this she has been battling prolonged internal and external seizures.

My sister and the doctors are doing everything that they possibly can. It is now up to Izabella to keep fighting! Anyone who knows her, knows that she can be quite feisty!

As you can understand, my sister has been unable to work and with traveling back and forth between the hospital and home to see her other daughter Gabriella the financial strain is taking its toll.

My sister needs help right now and they say it takes a village ...

We will be forever grateful for any and all help even if it's just saying an extra prayer.
