This gown will be gifted to four-year-old Malachi who is currently going through treatment. This is what his "Aunt Katie" shared with us about Malachi's journey:
"Malachi is a 4 year old little boy having his Fontan surgery on 6/11/26! Malachi spent the first 6 months of his life in the hospital having 2 open heart surgeries and then discharging into the foster home of his now adoptive parents who ended up adopting him at 18 months old! He has the most kind, sweet disposition, has a big personality, is incredibly silly, and loves playing with his 3 brothers! I was his CASA advocate when he was in foster care and now I just get to be “Aunt Katie” to this incredible little boy! His combination of defects and Heterotaxy means this is going to be a complicated Fontan and we would like to make his hospital stay as special as possible! I will be one of the caregivers helping stay at bedside with Malachi, rotating time with his parents so that one can work and the siblings can also be cared for during the hospitalization!?
