Welcome to Aria's Fund,

As some of you may already know, on July 3rd 2024, our daughter Aria entered this world facing enormous challenges. Born with asphyxia and hydrops, she was immediately taken into the expert care of the Montreal Children's Hospital Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). 

For two weeks, the incredible doctors, nurses, and staff worked around the clock to save her life, support her recovery, and give her the fighting chance every child deserves. Today, due in no small part to the team at the NICU and by the grace of God; Aria is a vibrant, healthy, intelligent and beautiful little girl who will continue to grow and prosper because of the life-saving care she received.

In honor of Aria and in gratitude to the NICU team, we are launching Aria’s Fund to help families and babies in critical need.

All donations will directly support:

• Medical Research: advancing treatments and care for newborns facing life-threatening conditions.

• Medical Equipment: ensuring the NICU has access to the latest life-saving technology.

• Family Assistance: helping families who are facing financial hardship while their child is in intensive care.

In lieu of any gifts for Aria, we kindly invite you to contribute to this fund. Every donation, no matter the amount, helps make a difference in the lives of the tiniest patients and their families.

Thank you for your generosity and for being part of Aria’s journey.

With love,

Vince, Cynthia, Aria & Tartufo
