Ari From the moment her parents learned about her diagnosis at just 15 weeks gestation, Ari's journey has been one of courage, hope, and unstoppable determination. Her arrival at 38 weeks was nothing short of miraculous—despite a rocky start filled with medical challenges and three major surgeries in her first five days of life, Ari amazed everyone with her strength and recovery, leaving the NICU far sooner than expected.

Now two-years-old, Ari continues to defy the odds with her infectious joy and fierce resilience. She may be small, but her spirit is mighty. Every obstacle she faces only fuels her forward. Ari’s spunky personality, endless laughter, and radiant light bring joy to everyone who meets her.

She is more than a survivor—she’s a fighter, a trailblazer, and the heart of her family. Ari reminds us every day that strength doesn’t always look big…sometimes, it comes in the form of a fearless little girl changing the world with her smile.
