My name is John Garza. From the minute I held Madison, I fell in love with this beautiful little girl and couldn't wait to take her home to have both my girls together. As she grew into the little person she was becoming , we noticed some things were not normal and she was not developing like a normal 3 month old. We called the Dr. to have test done. Feb 18th ,the test came back and my life was changed forever. My baby girl was diagnosed with SMA (spinal muscular atrophy), the number one genetic killer among infants. Madison was not going to live to see her 1st birthday. We now had to prepare ourself to accept this and live with it. Easter Sunday she was admitted to Dell Children's hospital with a collapsed lung. Dr's said it wouldn't be long and that we should prepare ourselves. Everyday I looked into my Madison's eyes and saw life inside of her. She was my fighter. She looked into my eyes as if she was telling me she was not GIVING UP just yet. She went on to fight for her little life for 1 month and 18 days and shocked dr's,nurses,family members as well as her Mother and I . On June 7th , she took her last and final breath. Madison will always be my strength. I never would have thought this day would ever have come , yet alone 9 months after her precious life was given to me. I, along with her mother, am now asking for any assistance at this unbearable time to help lay our precious Angel to rest. In advance I thank you for any and all help.
