My name is Stephanie, and I am reaching out to share a deeply personal and urgent cause close to my heart. My three-week-old niece Eliana has been diagnosed with type 1 truncus arteriosus, a rare and life-threatening congenital heart defect, Eliana requires immediate open-heart surgery to give her the chance to have a healthy and thriving life. Little Eliana has already shown the world the strength of her fighting spirit, but her tiny heart is working overtime, and every moment counts.
About Truncus Arteriosus
Truncus arteriosus is a condition where a single blood vessel comes out of the heart instead of the usual two, creating severe complications for blood flow to the lungs and the rest of the body. Without surgery, this condition can lead to heart failure and other critical complications. For Eliana, the stakes are incredibly high, but medical professionals are hopeful that this surgery can give her a strong start and pave the way to a bright future.
Why We Need Your Help
Eliana’s family is facing not only the emotional heartbreak of seeing their newborn fight for survival but also the financial strain of securing the necessary resources for her surgery and recovery. The costs of specialized surgeries, hospital stays, post-operative care, and medications are staggering, and the family needs support to ensure Eliana receives the best possible care. Every contribution, whether small or large, will make a tangible difference in easing the financial burden and ensuring that Eliana gets the treatment she desperately needs.
