Dahlia Tovey Support Fund
Donation protected
The Tovey family had to say goodbye to their precious baby Dahlia just 4 weeks after meeting her. During pregnancy she was diagnosed with hypoplastic left heart syndrome, a complex and rare heart defect present at birth. Her family knew her life would be a fight, including multiple possible heart surgeries.
She was so beautiful when she was born. But in addition to serious heart concerns, her lungs were truly struggling as well, fighting pneumonia. At 2 and a half weeks she was stable enough to undergo surgery on her heart, but a week later the doctors knew she couldn't survive. What had appeared as pneumonia was actually a congenital lung defect.
She passed away on February 7th.
It has been an extremely difficult journey for her family, made even harder by the steep financial burdens of medical costs--4 weeks in the NICU, including heart surgery--and now funeral costs as well. So many have wished they could do something to help them during this painful time, so please consider donating to this fund to show your love and support and to help them with those bills.
