<div>When we first met Harper, she was selling cookies at her stand.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>What started as a simple stop to buy some cookies turned into meeting an incredibly strong little girl and a family fighting for something much bigger.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Harper has a rare vascular condition called Capillary Malformation-Arteriovenous Malformation syndrome, or CM-AVM. It causes abnormal connections between arteries and veins throughout her body and can lead to pain, swelling, bleeding, and serious complications.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Her family has spent countless hours searching for the best treatment available.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>That search has led them to a specialized treatment called Modified Electrosclerotherapy, or MEST, with a team of specialists in Italy. Harper is expected to need multiple trips overseas for treatment, and there is also a possibility she may eventually need surgery.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Between medical expenses, international travel, lodging, transportation, meals, and time away from work, the financial burden on Harper's family is enormous.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>After meeting Harper and her family, we knew we wanted to do more than just buy some cookies.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We want to rally this community around her.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Funds raised through this fundraiser will help Harper's family cover her medical treatment, travel, lodging, transportation, and other expenses associated with getting her the care she needs.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Whether you can donate $5, $10, $100, or simply share Harper's story, every bit of support matters.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Harper deserves the chance to spend less time worrying about doctors, procedures, and pain, and more time simply being a kid.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Let's show Harper and her family just how many people are standing behind them.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Harper, we love you and your family, and we're honored to be part of your journey. We can't wait to see you guys again soon!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>And to all the amazing people who make moments like this possible, thank you for helping us Live to Love.

 Hello, my name is Carlos, we are a humble family from Venezuela.” Our little house needs basic repairs to remain a dignified and safe place, but the situation in our country is very difficult and materials are almost impossible to get and when they are, they are very expensive. With your help we can repair roofs, fix electrical things and paint to give our home a new opportunity. Every contribution brings us closer to that goal. Truly, any help means a lot to us. Thank you for sharing, for supporting and for believing in this dream. May God bless every grain of sand.
