Support Aria Kelly after Surgery

Donation protected
I am reaching out with a heavy heart to share a story of hope and resilience that is very close to my heart. My best friend's newborn daughter, Aria, is facing a life-threatening condition known as Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH). This is a rare and devastating birth defect where her diaphragm did not fully form, allowing organs to migrate into her chest cavity, impairing her lung development.
As a friend and supporter, I have witnessed the incredible strength and determination of Aria’s parents, Justin and Brianna, as they have tirelessly fought for the best medical team, treatments, and surgeries to provide the best possible chance for her survival. They have faced unimaginable emotional and financial burdens throughout this journey. At just 3 weeks of age, Aria underwent a crucial CDH repair surgery that significantly improved her chances of leading a healthy life. The cost of this life-saving surgery, combined with ongoing medical expenses, has placed an overwhelming financial strain on Justin and Brianna, who also have a very active, healthy 2 and a half year old named Asher. Justin has had to take extra time off work to be physically present at home, while Briana is a full time stay at home mom.

This is where your support can make a life-changing difference. We are reaching out to our friends, family, and community to rally together and help raise the funds needed for Aria's CDH surgery and ongoing medical care. Every donation, no matter how small, brings us closer to ensuring that this precious child gets the chance to grow, thrive, and experience all the joys that life has to offer. Please consider making a donation today through our dedicated fundraising page where you can contribute securely.

Your generosity will directly impact not only Aria's future, but that of Justin, Briana and Asher as well - offering hope and healing to a family in desperate need. In addition to your financial support, we ask for your thoughts and prayers for Aria's successful recovery. If you feel so inclined about this cause of these incredible people we have known and loved for 30 years, please consider sharing this message with your network to help us raise money for the Kelly family. Aria's smile, laughter, and bright spirit deserve a future full of possibilities. With your compassion and support, we can make that future a reality. Thank you for standing by them in this critical moment. If you have any questions or would like more information, please do not hesitate to contact me or my wife Amanda directly.

With heartfelt gratitude, Chris and Amanda Miller.
