Hello all. I’d like give a back story on my sweet daughter, miss Angelina Cristine. She was born on December 16th, 2019. At her 20 week sonogram, they noticed some abnormalities with her heart. My ob referred me to pediatric cardiology, so that she could get an echo done. At that appointment she was diagnosed with tricuspid atresia, along with dextracardia. Angelina had her first open heart surgery at only 3 weeks old to have her stent placed. My sweet girl was so strong through it all. She was the feistiest and most sassiest little girl I have ever met. I’ve never met anyone like her. Sadly, on February 2, 2020 at just 7 weeks old she went into cardiac arrest and they couldn’t not revive her. I promised her before her heart completely stopped beating that her mommy would do everything she could to bring awareness to this awful, life changing disease. My sweet girl is so very missed and so very loved. So for the last 3 years I have walked and raised money for my sweet girl. And I’ll do it every year until my last breath. If you could consider donating to this amazing cause that would be amazing. Also please come join me and my friends and family to walk and support the children’s heart foundation and all the beautiful babies and their families. Let’s honor the sweet babies gone too soon and let’s support the ones still fighting each and ever day!
