About Havana
Havana Ayala was born June 19, 2020 at 23 weeks and 2 days gestational. A micro preemie who spent much of her life in and out of PICU. She passed on September 21, 2024. She was nonverbal, loved deeply, and taught her parents Falu and Indira more than words could hold.
Our special children are also teachers, agents of change, and unifiers.
Presence before absence. A story of love that refuses to go undocumented.
What every family receives
