A family with a sick child is a sick family. You can help.
When Kaiya Mack was born with a rare life-threatening condition called gastroschisis, her parents, Mariah and Jonny, were 2,500 miles away from the advanced medical care that their first baby’s life would depend on. From their home in Honolulu, the couple traveled to the Bay Area where Kaiya underwent multiple surgeries immediately after she was born, spending four months in the neonatal intensive care unit.
“Until you have a sick child you don’t understand that feeling of stress,” said Kaiya’s father, Jonny. “The fact you can be in this community and share with other people and they help you and it’s for free and they don’t ask you for anything in return—it’s a blessing.”
