Support Olivia's Medical Journey

Hi there,

My name is Angie Gorman and I am the mother of 9 year old Olivia Rose Gorman, She is one of six children. Her daddy is medically retired from the Army, and me (mom) is an educator! She loves to sing, draw, and be a kid. Olivia was born with a rare congenital heart disease (1 in 5%). She had my first open-heart surgery at 1 year old, aortic arch repair. Since then, her life has been pretty busy with hospital stays, illnesses and surgeries. We have had to travel around to a few states now to get answers for her condition (Philadelphia, PA; Ohio; NY, etc.). As her mother, one thing I refuse to do is to never give up on finding an answer for her, Olivia is so grateful for that because she wants to be able to live a normal kids life one day. Olivia recently had my second open-heart surgery this past July 2024 in Cincinnati, Ohio, aortic uncrossing they call it. We had high hopes this would be the last one to help her, but unfortunately, since September, she has been in and out of the hospital and been sick a lot too. We wilm have to go back to Cincinnati, Ohio, on May 20th for a pre-op appointment and then June 17th for another surgery. As of right now, I(Angie) am the only provider for our family. We are hoping to raise some funds to help with medical, hotel (incase we can not get into the Ronald McDonald house) gas and any other expenses & to take the burden off my shoulder while I am out to take care of Olivia.

It truly takes a village to help one another. ♥️♥️♥️

Much love, The Gorman Family
