Baby Olivia Rose Chavez has spent most of her life in the hospital.

Olivia was born in April with Downs Syndrome and multiple health issues. She underwent a surgery in May, a surgery in July to repair multiple holes in her heart, and has just recently been able to come home.

Since Olivia’s birth, her father, Omar, a member of the Advance Fire Department, is the only parent who has been able to work. Her mother, Mandy, and 3-year-old brother Elijah, have spent most of their time in the hospital with baby Olivia.

On Friday, July 27, the Advance Fire Department will host a fundraiser for the Chavez family to assist with the financial burdens that a lengthy hospital stay can cause.

The menu will be homemade spaghetti, salad, bread, and dessert.

There will also be a silent auction, a dessert auction, and a date night basket raffle.

Dinner will be served from 5-8 p.m.  Dine in and take out is available.

The event will take place at the old Advance Fire Department building at 169 Fire Station Road.

To contribute a dessert to the dessert auction or preorder take out, contact Benita Finney at 336-671-0343.
