2025 November Member Meeting

  • 6:00 PM - 8:30 PM
  • Caruso Kitchens - 9138 W. 6th Avenue Lakewood, CO 80215

Registration

Baby Makayla, just 14 months old,
has spent her entire life in the hospital fighting
a rare condition called
 VACTERL Association.
She was recently released home for the very first time
— a huge milestone for her and her family.

Her parents, Yessika and Edgar,
moved their family from New Mexico to Colorado
so Makayla could receive the specialized care she needs.
Edgar, a former contractor, had to leave his job
to be by her side and is now searching for work locally.

Their sons, Bryan (13) and Abraham (9),
are adjusting to a new home and community
while helping care for their baby sister with love
and strength beyond their years.

This holiday season, we’re collecting gifts and essentials
to help the Ontivo family feel supported, comforted,
and surrounded by kindness as they start this
new chapter together at home.


Please view the FAMILY WISH LIST HERE 
and choose the gift you wish to donate.

Please save the receipts
with the persons name on them.


They need a Christmas tree and lights
and decorations
.


If you cannot attend on Nov 12th but would like to donate a gift, please contact  janet@shearproductions.com - (303) 905-5899

for delivery options.
