Help save Talia

Donation protected
This is my 16 month old niece, Talia. She was born on June 19th, 2018. Unfortunately, she was born with a very rare heart condition known as TOF. She's already had one open heart surgery a few months after birth. She recently had to be sent to Jackson due to some issues. After a heart cath, we discovered her heart is very weak and sick. The doctors said there is nothing more they can do for my niece and sent them home. If anyone knows our family, they know we dont give up, we fight. This little girl is the light of our family. We cant imagine life without her. Shana went to Houston to get a second opinion for Talia. While in the er my niece went into cardiac arrest. Her heart stopped and they worked on her for 40 mins. She was put on ecmo life support. Doctors there said there is nothing they can do for her heart. As of today, they took my niece off ecmo and shes on the vent only. She isn't breathing on her own yet. They see improvement on her heart and lungs. They dont know if she has brain damage or not yet. They do see brain stem activity. They plan on trying to get her off the vent and awake and see if her brain stem can handle it. We dont know how long they will be there. My sister and her family are asking for any donations to help them while in Houston, with Bill's, food, parking, and anything else.  This is our last resort. Neither one are working right now due to the circumstances and are by my nieces side.
