A fundraiser was hosted in her honor at the Colonial Lanes in Orlando on Feb. 25, and the family raised over $2,000. She is in the hospital in St. Petersburg at Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital, awaiting the call that she has a new heart.

"I can't even begin to tell you how thankful I am for all your help and Channel 6," her grandmother told News 6 reporter Amanda Castro.
