Yeira lives her best life with the help of her children's hospital — care she will depend on her entire life. She was born with an extremely rare incurable gastrointestinal disease. Her intestines simply do not work. She receives nutrition through her veins and through a method that bypasses her intestines. This care can cause fluid retention and tissue swelling for which Yeria receives a treatment daily. Without the treatment, the fluids can dangerously seep into her organs. Already, she has survived several life-threatening experiences, including a heart attack. Donations to Children's Miracle Network Hospitals support several programs that give Yeira a world of possibility, including the in-hospital school, playrooms and therapy dogs.
