In Support of McDaniel Family

McDaniel Family
💙 Meet Baby Ivan 💙 

Baby Ivan was born in July and is already proving to be a fighter. 

At birth, doctors discovered a heart murmur. Initially, they believed it to be mild and could possibly resolve on its own, but an echo and EKG this week revealed the opposite—severe pulmonary valve stenosis along with two holes in his heart. Now Ivan now needs emergency heart catheterization. 

⏰ His surgery is scheduled for just 1 week from today. 

This is an overwhelming situation for the family. The procedure can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, and to make matters harder, Cook Children’s does not accept their health insurance. 

We, Ivan’s family and friends, are rallying around them in this critical time. 

Here’s how you can help: 

  • Follow along for updates on Ivan’s journey 💙

  • Share this page to spread the word 🙏

  • Give as you feel led to help cover medical and living expenses during this emergency 💕

  • Watch for meal and support needs we’ll post here

Baby Ivan needs us all right now. Thank you for standing with him and his family.

Love, cousin Lisa
