With love for Alana

Parma, OH

Story

Hello everyone, My name is Colleen, and I’m reaching out as the proud—but worried—grandmother of beautiful baby Alana. Alana is just 7 weeks old. After spending time in the NICU after birth due to surgery for a TEF repair she was finally discharged and brought home. We were so hopeful. But just one week later, she went back for a dilation and Alana had to be readmitted to the NICU due to complications, and once again, her parents, Ariana and Angelo, are broken and worried. They are at her bedside around the clock, doing everything they can to stay strong for their daughter. But the emotional toll is now being matched by a financial burden. On top of a few medical-related expenses, a fire occurred in their kitchen a few weeks ago. 
Thankfully, no one was injured, but the damage was significant. Their kitchen is now unusable, and the repairs are costly— insurance covered most, but not all of the things they need to replace and clean. They haven’t been able to cook at home as the stove/oven was the cause of the fire. on top of everything else they’re dealing with, Angelo lost work time without pay and Ariana is on unpaid maternity leave as she doesn’t have PTO to cover the time. they’re paying daily hospital parking fees, and they’re trying to cover food, gas, and all the unexpected expenses that come with a child in intensive care. That’s why we’ve set up this page— to ask for help when they need it most. We are hoping to raise money to cover: * Daily hospital parking and transportation to the NICU * Meals and basic living expenses during Alana’s hospital stay * repairs to their kitchen following the fire * Lost wages and continued bills while they focus on their baby Ariana and Angelo are incredibly loving, hardworking parents who have been hit with crisis after crisis. Anything you can give—whether it’s $5, $50, or just a share—will go directly toward helping them stay on their feet and by their daughter’s side. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for supporting baby Alana and our family during this painful time. Your kindness and prayers mean the world to us. With love and gratitude,
Colleen 
Grandmother of Alana
