Hope

Hope joined the Fresh Start program in November 2023, after her mother, Melva, discovered Fresh Start through her work at a pediatrician’s office in Laredo. Hope was born with congenital microcephaly, resulting in a smaller than normal head, which made her ears appear larger and protrude more prominently.

Samuel

Samuel’s family came to Fresh Start in January 2023 seeking surgery for his craniofacial abnormalities. From birth, he faced numerous challenges, including difficulty breathing and swallowing, which required hospitalization and the placement of a G tube for nutrition.

Valery

Valery was born with a cleft lip and palate, a condition that requires extensive evaluations, medical exams and multiple reconstructive surgeries. This condition made it harder for Valery to eat, and if left unchecked, would lead to speech issues in the future.

Julian

Julian was born with a cleft lip and palate, a condition that left his family searching desperately for answers and solutions. His parents, overwhelmed with the complexities and uncertainties of his medical needs, faced the daunting reality that their son would require multiple surgeries over several years to correct his condition.

Her story stands as a testament to Fresh Start’s dedication to offering life-changing opportunities for children confronting significant challenges.

Aria

In the heart of Fresh Start Surgical Gifts’ mission lies the touching story of Aria, one of our youngest patients, who, at just one year old, faced multiple health challenges.
