You helped Liza breathe, eat and live close to her family

Lisa weighed 14 pounds at age 13. Breakfast, lunch and dinner used to be dangerous for Lisa. The girl could choke so hard that food traveled from her esophagus to her lungs, causing inflammation. Because of the incessant pneumonias, the girl spent eight months in hospitals. Lisa was fitted with a tracheostomy, which helps the girl breathe, and a gastrostomy - it allows the mother to feed her daughter without fear. Like any equipment, these tubes require special care, which can be done at home. To stay at home, Lisa needs a replacement tracheostomy, feeding syringes, and a gastrostomy. Her mother is dedicated to her daughter's care, and to make it easier to care for Lisa, the family needs a bathing chair, a mattress for bedsores, and a nanny once a week. Lisa needs replacement tracheostomies, feeding syringes, and gastrostomies, as well as a bathing chair and a decubitus mattress to stay at home.
