Leia's Story
Katie, Tom, and their children have been supported by Noah’s Ark since their first child, Leia was a baby.
Leia was born in 2019 after what seemed like normal pregnancy.
Katie and Tom then discovered that Leia had barely any amniotic fluid and she was delivered prematurely. Leia seemed perfectly healthy apart from some feeding issues but shortly afterwards, the couple received the devastating news that Leia had severe white matter damage to her brain and serious renal issues and may not have more than a few months to live.
