Andrew and Saysha are dear friends who quietly love and support many in our community. Today they find that they need your help in the most profound way.

Saysha delivered their first, eagerly anticipated baby boy, Rowan, in early December. Shortly after, a routine check showed that his oxygen levels were dangerously low, and they were rushed to Children’s in Denver.

Rowan has a condition called Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS). He was born with a tiny left side of the heart. He is going to go through a series of 3 surgeries to reshape the right side of his heart to support him living without the left side. The first surgery will be next week, the second in 4-6 months, then the last in 2-3 years. When he is around 15-20 years old, he will need a heart transplant.

Andrew and Saysha will need to stay in Denver, hours from home and their support system, for an unknown amount of time. The surgeries are difficult and recovery will be challenging for both baby and parents.

This GiveSendGo has been set up by several friends who will ensure that every dollar goes to Andrew and Saysha. They will need housing, meals, gas, and day-to-day expanses covered, plus help with medical bills.
