Leo Gadiel

Since birth, Leo has shown incredible strength & resilience. Born with a pneumothorax, he spent his first days in the NICU but despite being prodded with countless tests, he never cried or complained. His bravery in those early moments showed us how special he truly is. To this day, he’s literally always smiling & full of joy! Everyone says their baby lights up a room, but with Leo, it’s undeniable. So much so, that strangers stop us in public to hold him and comment on how beautiful he is.

Bath time, nap time, & mealtime are his top 3 favorite things EVER! My sleepy boy could nap all day if we let him. He is such a foodie (not picky WHATSOEVER) and will devour anything we give him! He also loves bouncing, sitting up to play with his toys and pulling himself up to stand. He enjoys listening to music, stroller walks and watching our dogs run around the house.

$25,000 would be a huge blessing to our family. It’s been difficult to save up with my husband being the sole provider. We’re in need of a stable place to call home, as we currently rent a house. This support would allow me to continue providing as a stay-at-home mom while also furthering my college education to create a better future for our family. It would bring us one step closer to stability, independence, and the life we’re working so hard to give our son and future children.
