Story:
Maceo, age 12, has undergone 13 surgeries, including six open-heart surgeries, as a result of being born with tricuspid atresia, a rare heart condition in which the tricuspid valve doesn’t develop in the womb. The defect blocks proper blood flow to the lungs and caused the right side of Maceo’s heart to be severely underdeveloped. The tricuspid valve can’t be replaced, so patients undergo a series of surgeries to reroute blood flow through the body There's no known cure for his conditions and treatment is costly.
Lucas, age 5, is currently in recovery from a brain tumor.
Savannah, age 7, has been in and out of hospitals due to chronic lung issues.
In addition to hospital and travel expenses, the Esparza family was recently forced to relocate their home, facing moving expenses as well.
