This is Alaia and her family. Alaia is a brave little warrior who is healing from Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS), a rare and severe heart condition. Due to recent complications from a surgery, she is in the hospital in critical condition and needs a live-saving heart transplant. Alaia's family has not left her side as she fights for her life in the ICU. They are currently living over an hour away from their home so they can be close to their precious little girl.

As we prayerfully wait for Alaia to get a heart, we want the family's focus solely to be on Alaia's well-being and comfort. We are reaching out with a goal to raise $20,000 to support her family with living expenses as they navigate this long journey ahead of them. 

We are confident that our Father in Heaven will not only protect and watch over Alaia and her family as she recovers, but He will also strengthen them for the road ahead as Alaia receives this healing in her body (Psalm 121, Psalm 91, Isaiah 54:17, 3 John 2,1 Peter 2:24, Isaiah 53:5, Isaiah 41:10).

We want to thank you ahead of time for your donation and we are believing that as you give to help this beautiful family endure a difficult situation, God will reward your love and kindness to the fullest.

Hello friends and family!

We have some pictures to share of our sweet Alaia! She is recovering incredibly well - thank you, Jesus!

There is still a long road ahead for her recovery. The family will still have many appointments over the next year with each one over an hour away.

Please consider donating to help make this difficult road ahead financially easier for this beautiful family.

All glory to God!!!!

Please pray about donating because there will still be lots of doctors appointments that will be over an hour away over the next year once she is discharged.

💖 A MIRACLE FOR ALAIA! 💖

 

Amazing news — Thursday night a donor heart was found for Alaia and she received her life saving transplant yesterday. 

 

Yesterday, the goal was changed to $20,000 because more information came in about the actual cost for the living expenses required for the duration of Alaia's recovery. The funds raised will still go to help cover travel, meals, and living expenses while they focus 100% on Alaia’s recovery. 

 

Over $7,000 has already been raised thanks to the incredible love and support from our community. 

 

Please keep sharing her story so we can reach this new goal for Alaia and her family! ❤️

 

We will also continue to update everyone on her recovery. 🥰
