Victor’s Story

Site created on October 23, 2021

Welcome to our CaringBridge website. We are using it to keep family and friends updated in one place. We appreciate your support and words of hope and encouragement. Thank you for visiting.



Who I'm raising money for
Victor is 4 months old with Complete AV Canal Defect. This means that the 4 chambers of his heart did not form correctly and he will need surgey to repair it. He also struggles with eating orally and gaining weight so he will be having a surgery to get a G tube placed in his stomach.This is Victor's third stay in the hospital in 3 months and his surgey is still months away.


Victor has a lot of medical bills and insurance doesn't cover everything. Victor is on medicaid and Seth's job has also organized a go fund me. 


I will be stepping back from my job in order to stay home and keep Victor isolated as much as possible. This will take our house to one income only and we have a lot more expenses with 2 kids, medical bills, gas, accommodations, and insurance. Seth also is not working when he is down at the hospital. 


Any amount donated will be greatly appreciated. I never thought in a million years that we would be in this situation but I am grateful for all the support and kind words we have received.

Journal entry by Samantha Zimmerman

We've had a busy couple of weeks. Meeting Santa, finding out what food we like (carrots and sweet potatoes) and getting worn out from his cardiologist appointment this afternoon. His heart looks the same on his echo as it did before coming home last month. Oh yeah, Victor has been home for 4 weeks already! He has a medium leaky valve which they will just continue to monitor. He sees general surgery for his G tube consult next week and we should get a surgery date then as well. Can't wait to get this NG out of his nose and I'm sure he is just as excited! 😊 oh yeah, and this chonk is now over 14 pounds!!!!
