FAMILY BACKGROUND:
This family has been through a frightening year. Their 2-year-old needed two major heart surgeries, first to help the baby grow strong enough and then a complete repair. One parent stopped working to focus on the child’s care and only returned to work on January 12, 2026. With two little ones at home, ages 2 and 5, the family is still catching up from months without a full income, and a sponsor would bring a joyful Christmas after a very hard road.
