Meet Patti: A Heartwarming Caretaker and Baby Whisperer in need of a Liver Transplant

In March 2023, Patti was diagnosed with liver cirrhosis from nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, a condition that turned her world upside down. As a lifelong giver, she now finds herself with the uncomfortable necessity of asking for help from others.

From a young age, Patti discovered her passion caring for children. She embraced the role of caretaker with unwavering love and dedication, nurturing not just her own family but also extending her compassion to countless children. Patti spent years volunteering in the NICU, where her comforting touch and soothing presence helped infants with remarkable success. She became known as the “baby whisperer” due to her ability to help babies fall into a restful sleep with a 100% success rate, even in the face of challenging medical conditions.

As a devoted mother to two daughters, Patti’s loving nature extended beyond her professional caregiving. She poured her love and dedication into creating a warm and loving home for her family, embodying the essence of a loving and supportive mother. She raised her daughters, Shauna and Alea, to care for others the way she cared for them. Alea is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Shauna is a Licensed Massage Therapist.

However, Patti’s journey took an unexpected turn when in March 2023 she was diagnosed with a severe liver condition. Suddenly, the vibrant caregiver who brought joy to countless children found herself battling physical weakness, depression, and a sense of isolation. Everyday tasks became challenges, and Patti’s once-active life came to a standstill as she navigated the complexities of her illness.

Now, faced with the urgent need for a liver transplant, Patti’s resilience shines through. The road ahead is daunting — months of recovery, intense medical care, and financial burdens that weigh heavily on her and her family. But Patti’s determination to heal and return to her passion for caring for children fuels her spirit.
