Niandria is a 5 month-old girl with complex congenital heart disease. Her family traveled to Dallas for her open heart surgery, which was rescheduled on multiple occasions and delayed after her transfer to Dallas. Niandria has been in and out of hospitals for her entire life which has caused financial hardships on her family as her mom has not been able to return to work and Dad has only been able to work intermittently due to Niandria’s medical needs and the changes in her surgical plan. The Extra Step assisted the family in paying for their rent while Niandria was in the hospital.
