Ianna contracted a serious heart condition during COVID, leading to a 5 ½-month hospital stay and numerous procedures. After being given a 30% chance of survival, she was transferred to Boston Children’s Hospital. She faced multiple complications and challenges with her heart, lungs, and kidneys. Her vocal cords were also affected, making it difficult for her to eat and speak. Now on the pre-heart transplant list, Ianna continues to receive regular care and remains incredibly resilient.
Ianna has a strong-willed personality and loves spending time with her family at the beach and trampoline parks. She and her siblings absolutely love to swim. Her favorite characters are Moana, Ariel, and Peppa Pig. Ianna and her family are so excited to meet her favorite characters on her upcoming trip to Disney and stay at Give Kids The World Village.
