Alivia with Big Sis Alaina 
Alivia at Charge Syndrome Walk-a-thon Alivia was born blind in her right eye and has a large blind spot in her left, has trouble hearing, has breathing and swallowing problems, and has already had several heart surgeries. Yet, she is a playful and happy child that has made major progress in her short life.
Every parent knows that raising a healthy child is a full time job and a costly proposition. Now imagine raising a child that has weekly appointments with a vision therapist, a occupatonal therapist, a physical therapist, a developmental therapist, a speech therapist, and a nutritionist, needs constant attention and care, has had several life threatening surgeries and has spend months at a time in the hospital.
The needed time for care and the cost of these expensive procedures and experts is astronomical.
To help little Alivia and her family with expenses, Innovative Home Concepts, Inc. is sponsoring a Facebook Like Drive. The way it works is simple. For every Facebook member that becomes a fan of Innovative by "liking" them, a dollar will be donated to the Alivia Roth Benefit up to $1000.
Rhett Wilborn, owner of Innovative says, "My heart goes out to the Roth family, I can't even begin to imagine how difficult it must be to make ends meet, financially and emotionally. This is an incredibly brave family. We know a dollar for each "like" isn't a lot of money, but hopefully over time, they will add up. If everyone who reads this makes an effort, not just to record a like on Facebook but to spread the word, I truly believe this cause could go viral. I only wish we could more for these special folks".
Charge syndrome is an extremely complex syndrome, involving extensive medical and physical difficulties that differ from child to child. The vast majority of the time, there is no history of charge syndrome or other similar conditions in the family.
Babies born with Charge syndrome are often born with life-threatening birth defects, including complex heart defects and breathing problems. They spend many months in the hospital and undergo many surgeries and treatments. Swallowing and breathing problems make life difficult. Most have hearing loss, vision loss, and balance problems which delay their development and communication skills. All are likely to require medical and educational intervention for many years.
Despite these seemingly insurmountable obstacles, children with Charge Syndrome often far surpass their medical, physical, educational, and social expectations.
Alivia with the help and support of her Mom, Dad, four year old sister Alaina, and the many therapists attending to her, is thriving. She has learned to eat on her own and no longer requires a feeding tube. She loves the food she is allowed to eat, especially peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. In fact, she can now out eat her older sister.
Her vision has improved markedly in just the past six months. Alivia recently went to the circus with her family and had a blast. She is also loving getting around with the help of a push car one of her therapist gave her.
