My name is LC (Luag Ntxhi) Moua, and I am humbly reaching out on behalf of my sister's little family (Khou Moua & Anthony Chasengnou).

Just a few weeks ago, after several visits to Seattle Children’s Hospital to understand why 5 month-old Koah was wheezing every time he breathed, our family received heartbreaking news. My sweet baby nephew has been diagnosed with Pulmonary Sling, a rare and serious condition.

This means that one of the blood vessels going to his lungs, the left pulmonary artery, is coming from the wrong place. Instead of connecting normally, it wraps around his windpipe (trachea) and in front of his esophagus before reaching the left lung. This abnormal path is compressing his lower trachea, making it dangerously narrow and causing his breathing issues.

**Koah will possibly need open-chest surgery.** (Doctors pushed the possible date of surgery to the winter as they want to observe Koah's growth and development.)

My sister and her family are doing everything they can to stay strong through this emotionally and financially draining time. However, it has been challenging. We are asking for your support to help with the following as funds will be used for:

Every donation, no matter the amount, helps. And if you’re not in a position to give, sharing this link is more than enough.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you... for your love, your prayers, and your unwavering support during this incredibly difficult time. Your compassion is a light in our darkest moments, and we are deeply, deeply grateful.

Updates will be provided.

With gratitude,

Elsee (Luag Ntxhi) Moua
