Help Ariyah’s Journey

Ariyah is a courageous 9-year-old living with complex congenital heart disease. Born with multiple heart defects, she has faced a lifetime of challenges with incredible strength and resilience.

Despite years of following medical guidance, Ariyah continued to struggle with fatigue, dizziness, and pain. Trusting her instincts, her mom Ellie sought further answers in Michigan, where specialists at the University of Michigan Mott’s Children’s Hospital discovered her condition is far more severe than originally believed.

Ariyah now requires major open-heart surgery: a complete transverse arch reconstruction and coarctation repair. This life-saving procedure will involve a long hospital stay and months of recovery.

Through it all, Ariyah remains full of joy. As a dedicated competitive cheerleader, she continues to push forward with determination, inspiring everyone around her.

As Ellie stays by Ariyah’s side during this journey, the financial burden is significant. Your support will help ease that stress, allowing Ellie to focus fully on Ariyah’s healing and recovery.
