Operation Baby Isabella
Donation protected
Dear friends and family, I am writing you about 2 American Soldiers that have both fought for our Country including 4 deployments to Iraq & Afghanistan. This beautiful young couple now needs our help. Johnanna Soto (Ville Platte native) and her husband Isaac Soto (San Antonio) are expecting their first child in early January.
Sadly their unborn Baby Daughter Isabella was diagnosed with a Severe Congenital Heart Defect known as Transposition of the Great Arteries (TGA). In this condition the baby's aorta & pulmonary arteries are switched in each others place & will have to be switched to the correct position. Isabella's heart also has an extra hole in it the will need to be corrected. Baby Isabella will be born & under go Open Heart Surgery shortly after delivery at Boston Children's Hospital. The Soto's do have medical insurance but they will have lots of out of pocket expenses having to pack up from Louisiana and move to Boston (travel, extended stay lodging, meals, parking, gas, medical supplies, etc.) for approximately 2 mths while maintaining their home and bills in Louisiana.
Please find it in your heart to help this young family that serves and protects us while they fight their biggest fight of all - TO SAVE BABY ISABELLA!
