Help Rori’s family at CHOP for heart surgery.

Hi <3

My name is Angela Dube, a friend of Rori’s Mom, Kati Autolitano. We are raising money to help the family cope with living expenses and potential lost work time during Rori’s ongoing hospitalization.

Rori was born on August 9, 2021 to Mom Kati and Dad Ryan. Her big sister Emma was so excited she was on her way! Shortly after Rori was born, it was determined she had a heart condition. Rori was taken to Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, where she underwent many tests and an open heart surgery. She recovered at CHOP for a few weeks before her family could take her home. Unfortunately once home she did struggle with GI issues, and was not gaining weight. The doctors suggested she be admitted to Geisinger Danville Hospital then, where she has been since. After a recent heart catheterization, doctors at Danville and CHOP decided she must be transferred back to Philly for another open heart surgery.

Kati and Ryan have had so many expenses to contend with during this time: hotels for weeks, parking for months, food, gas to Danville daily or Philly back and forth, plus the normal costs of running a household. As they face another extended stay in Philly for heart surgery at CHOP, a little bit of financial weight being lifted could do nothing but help.

If you are able to give financially - thank you! If you are able to share this message, or send love and light, or send prayers or best wishes - thank you! Rori the little lion will win this fight!
