Izzie's Memorial Fund

Jillian Izzie Oberiano, also known as Iz, had just turned 11 last month. She was a sweet, kind, and patient girl who was always known for her infectious smile and bubbly personality. Before her first birthday, Izzie had 6 open heart surgeries.  She lived a full and healthy life until April 2020,  when she was diagnosed with heart and lung failure.  Her only hope was a children’s hospital in Pittsburgh.  Three weeks ago, Izzie had a grueling but successful surgery on her heart, and her health was slowly improving.  Tragically, after one week of remarkable improvement,  Izzie experienced a major complication and lapsed into a coma.  She passed away with her family by her side on Monday, June 15, 2020.

Jaye and Orlando, Izzie’s loving parents, and her younger brother Lance, have been by her side throughout this entire experience. As you can imagine, their emotional and financial burdens are overwhelming at this time. The money donated will help ease the added stresses of having to pay for a funeral, extra travel and lodging expenses. I am asking for your support for the Oberiano family with your donation and prayers.
