Donate to Quinnley's Heart: A Family's Struggle, organized by Catherine Leifheit

Hello everyone! This sweet girl's name is Quinnley, who has been battling a very critical heart condition her whole 3 years of life. She was born with it, and as she gets older, it has gotten worse for her. The family has had countless days and nights, even weeks and months, spent in different hospitals. They have been to 4 different children’s hospitals over the years. She was supposed to receive 3 open-heart surgeries to fix her heart, but in June of 2024, all of those options went away when she got plastic bronchitis. This then meant that a heart transplant was the only option for her quality of life. She has hit a lot of obstacles, to say the least. Currently, she has been moved to the ICU at Nationwide Children’s Hospital, where she has been admitted since December 17th for a massive fluid overload—like 4 liters of it, to be exact. She has been in the ICU for 8 days of the stay, where she will remain for quite some time, which is unknown at this time. Mom and Dad were told last week some really, really heart-wrenching news that this sweet girl's heart has gotten tremendously worse in just a month's time, and the function of her heart went from being moderately diminished to severely diminished. Because of this, as of right now, she cannot accept a new heart, as if she did, she would not survive the surgery. She is very sick, and the doctors are doing everything they can to get her back to the path of being a reasonable candidate for a new heart, as that is her only option. It was gut-wrenching news for the family to hear that they either take her home and let her be herself for however long, or they let the doctors do everything they can to help get her back on the right track. It’s been a roller coaster, and it’s only gonna get worse before it gets better, unfortunately. She has had to get a feeding tube, which is not something she’s ever had before, to receive some protein and nutrients to help her little body get stronger! They are going to do more testing to get more numbers from the heart to see if the support they have given to the heart has helped. Once those tests are done and the results are in, the family will know what the next steps and options are for their sweet girl. As you can imagine, this is taking a huge toll on the rest of the family as well. Everyone misses Quinn. Mom stays in Columbus at the hospital, and Dad is at home caring for their other two babies and trying to show up for work every day. We are asking for donations to help the family be a little less stressed during this time to pay for expenses, bills, food, etc. Money is really tight for everyone, and we understand that fully, but if you could please just SHARE this story, we would be so grateful. We will post updates on here as well for everyone to be able to know how things are going! This family needs all the prayers and support they can get during this difficult time and are so thankful for each and every one of you who took the time to even read their story! God bless you.
