Our main mission within our foundation is to help those who need it most. But the only way we can do that is by people reaching out or by sharing our page.

Does your child or do you know of any other children who suffer with chronic illnesses and spend time in hospital? Reach out to us and message the page. We want to help x

A lot of the support and exposure The Ava Alexander foundation receives comes from people who follow the page especially from sharing posts etc

Last week we received a phone call from Diane Monaghan and her brother Sean, they recently lost their dad. The special part of this post is their dad dedicated his life to helping others and in the midst of their own heartbreak they wanted to continue his legacy by donating the funeral collection to the foundation due to the fact it’s based on Ava’s special heart.

Yesterday we received a payment of £1530 and I can’t tell how unbelievably grateful we are to receive that level of support. Your legacy will continue Chris Monaghan, your family and friends are a credit to you and the foundation will endeavour to support as many kids and families as possible just as you and your wife did throughout your life. Safe in gods hands. X

Everyone meet Jack. He is the most special and happy wee boy but like many others he has a very poorly heart. Jack was born with HLHS just like Ava. He followed the same surgical pathway but unfortunately his wee heart couldn’t take the pressure of the 3rd surgery therefore in 2020 he was added to the transplant list.

5 months ago things became more complicated and he was then added to the urgent list which means Jack has to stay in Glasgow Childrens hospital on medication to keep him alive until a transplant becomes Available. Can you honestly imagine how difficult this must be for him and his family. His mum Fiona told us about his bucket list and 1 of his wishes is to spend 2 hours at home( something we all take for granted)

We reached out to them both a few weeks back to ask if there was anything we could do and Jack selected some special gifts 2 of which were his beloved Celtic team Lego sets. A camera for his switch to allow him to interact with friends. And a super Mario game.

No amount of money or gifts in the world can give them as a family what they desperately need but his beautiful big smile was worth it giving him what he asked for. We are with you Jack. You are so brave and I’m praying your special gift comes soon.

Thank you for all the support given to The Ava Alexander foundation Without you all this wouldn’t be possible. 💗💗

This is our reality and that of some many families we help. These kids may look well in themselves but things are so unpredictable. The worry and anguish is overwhelming at times. We want to help ease that in any way we can x

Most people have never heard of the BT Shunt.
The Glenn.
The Fontan.
But for HRHS families these three words are everything.
Three open heart surgeries.
Three times handing their baby to a surgeon.
Three chances to keep their child alive.
The BT Shunt comes first.
Days old. Sometimes hours.
A small tube placed to create a pathway for blood to reach the lungs.
Buying time for a heart that needs it.
The surgery that gets them stable enough to fight another day.
The Glenn comes next.
Around three to six months old.
The BT Shunt removed.
Blood from the upper body rerouted directly to the lungs.
The heart’s workload reduced so it can keep going.
The Fontan is the final stage.
Around two to four years old.
The remaining blood rerouted to the lungs completely.
Without passing through the heart at all.
Three surgeries.
Not to fix the heart.
To work around it.
And it comes with a cost that lasts a lifetime.
Heart failure.
Liver disease.
Fluid buildup.
Arrhythmias.
Exercise intolerance.
These children are not fixed.
They are rerouted.
Brave.
Defying everything medicine said was possible.
And they carry it every single day.
They deserve to be understood.
Their families deserve to be seen.
💙 Drop a 💙 if this is your child’s road.

Several months ago we alongside Ava Afc were given the opportunity to apply for a community defibrillator. With the story of our warrior princess Ava and the work we do combined with the ethos of our amazing football team we were granted this piece of life saving equipment.

With the help of Helen and local councillor alasdair McPherson the council agreed that we could attach it to our house which would allow the local community access should they ever need this. Having another defibrillator in the village will hopefully give locals some piece of mind.

A huge thank you to local firm NGA electrical who installed the equipment for us.

If you ever find yourself in an unimaginable position and you need to access this.

Our address is 23 Bannockburn Road, Cowie, Stirling, Fk7 7bg. You can access this from the side gate of our house which will remain open all year round.

You may all remember last month we were doing some fundraising towards to use of a defibrillator at Ava’s school. With the help of some of our amazing followers we were able to donate £500 towards the ongoing maintenance of this life saving equipment.

Thank you to all those who donated. We are extremely grateful

Some of you may remember a while back the beautiful and brave Brie. The foundation had gifted her some gifts during what was probably the most difficult and traumatic time of life. We expected nothing in return as our job is to make life easier for the families we help.

However Brie’s amazing family decided to do something amazing for us. Lighthouse Moments Spiritual & Healing put on 2 fantastic shows and raised our foundation £1070. We visited Jodie( Brie’s mummy) gifting some little extra Easter treats and as you can see from the picture below it was smiles all round.

Thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts. To all those that donated. It will help us to help others ###
