<div>Lily is a sweet blonde haired, blue eyed 5 year old that’s undergone anesthesia EVERY. THREE. MONTHS. since she was only 8 months old.

</div>

<div>This will continue for a lifetime UNLESS we can get her to Italy - that is her BEST hope to becoming VM FREE!

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>25x under anesthesia before her 5th birthday.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I’m fighting with everything in me to make sure she doesn’t have to face 25 more.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>19 treatments, 5 debulking surgeries, tonsils and adenoids removed, and an emergency appendix removal at only 3 years old.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Lily was born with a Venous Malformation on the inside of her entire left cheek and part of her lip.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>(A venous malformation is a RARE condition where veins grow incorrectly, creating a tangled cluster that continues to grow as the child grows. It causes pain, swelling, and serious complications — especially in the face.)

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>We’ve been told over the years —

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>3 days old - “It’s just busted blood vessels.”

</div>

<div>-local pediatrician.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>1 month old - “It’s a hemangioma” and she will never be a candidate for surgery or treatment.

</div>

<div>- New Orleans

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>8 months old - “Venous Malformation” and she’ll need treatment and surgeries all her life.” -Arkansas

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>5 years old - “Venous Malformation” and she will only need about 2 treatments and MAYBE one more in 5-10 years then she’ll be VM FREE.

</div>

<div>-Italy

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>The treatment that Lily so desperately needs to become VM FREE is called ‘Electro Sclerotherapy.’

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>And this treatment is ONLY available in Italy. Unfortunately, it’s not cheap.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>The total cost for 1 treatment is about $50,000.

</div>

<div>That includes the procedure cost, flights,

</div>

<div>10-14 day hotel stay, follow up visit, transportation, food, and funds to keep us afloat so I don’t have to choose between bills and my baby’s care.

</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Lily’s 2nd procedure in Italy will be in June or July 2026. 3-4 months after the 1st procedure.
</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><span>I’m setting our goal to $100,000 — to cover both treatments, start to finish, so Lily can FINALLY get the care she deserves!</span><br />
</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>We absolutely cannot do this without you.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I know we can pull this off - TOGETHER.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I promised her that oneday she wont have this on her mouth or lip anymore. 

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>The day I stop pushing is the day I stop breathing!

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>DID YOU KNOW??

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Only 0.01% of people worldwide are born with a Venous Malformation.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Only a small number of children with venous malformations ever receive access to the specialists they truly need.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>We refuse to let Lily fall into those statistics!!
