💜 Our Daughter’s Story

Earlier this year, our world was turned upside down when our daughter was diagnosed with Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome (SMAS), a rare and potentially life-threatening condition.

We went from having a bright, determined teenager looking toward her future to being told that we had come frighteningly close to losing her. Nothing prepares a parent for hearing those words.

Because SMAS is so rare and not widely understood, finding answers and navigating her recovery has often felt overwhelming and incredibly lonely. But our daughter has shown us what strength and resilience truly look like.

Today, we are focused on helping her heal, rebuild her confidence, continue her education, and stay hopeful by accessing positive and supportive environments. We are also sharing her story to raise awareness of SMAS so that other families facing this rare condition may feel a little less alone.

Your Support. Her Future. 💜

We are raising funds to help our daughter access the education, individualized services, therapies and healing supports that can give her the strongest path forward.

Every donation, no matter the amount, helps. And if you are unable to donate, sharing her story and helping us raise awareness of SMAS is equally meaningful to our family.

Thank you for standing beside our daughter as she turns one of the most difficult chapters of her life into one of healing, hope and possibility. 💜
