Rennah needs a new heart!

Please meet my baby niece, Rennah. At just 7 months old, she is fighting for her life with her only option being a heart transplant which she was just approved for. Unbeknownst to anyone, Rennah was born with mitral regurgitation and cardiomyopathy, which means a valve in her heart is not working correctly. In just a day, she went from being a happy, healthy baby to struggling for each breath at BC Children’s Hospital.

With her mom, dad, and big sister at her side, she’s been showing signs of improvement each day! Baby Rennah is currently being prepared for a flight to Edmonton, on Monday July 26th to await her new heart.

Once she receives her transplant, she will need to remain in Edmonton for a minimum of 3 months post-transplant. When she is allowed to come home, she will visit BC Children’s hospital once per week for a year, then every two weeks, and finally, once every three months. For the rest of her life.

Rennah’s mom and dad, Aiesha and Brendon, have more worries than any parent should ever have. Our goal here is to help relieve some of their financial burden in the coming months so they can focus entirely on being by their daughter’s side, giving her the strength she needs to fight for her life.

Ronald McDonald House will be providing a safe place for Rennah’s family to stay in Edmonton, and her family’s landlord has generously waived their rent for the month of August.

All funds raised will be given to Rennah’s family to help cover bills during while Rennah is at the hospital and her family is in Edmonton unable to work.

If you are able to contribute anything at all, every donation or share of Rennah’s story helps. Thank you.
