Cameron Owen Carroll Amore was born with TOF.
TOF- (Tetralogy of Fallot) is a cardiac anomaly or defect of the heart that is present at birth.

Mikka Amore and Charlie Amore have a six year old daughter named Ryan.
Sadly the couple had experienced three miscarriages and didn't think they'd have another child. Not to long ago their dreams came true when they found out that they were expecting a baby! They later found out that the baby was a little boy and their hearts were very full! Mikka went through a lot of problems during her pregnancy including a break in, and an accident. With Charlie, Ryan, and her family behind her they overcame these challenges. They decided to name the bouncing baby boy Cameron Owen Carroll Amore.

Then they found it.
After the delivery the doctor noticed a murmur in his heart beat. The doctor had baby Cameron go through ultrasounds and x-rays and discovered the condition. He told the Amore family their baby would have to have open heart surgery. Charlie and Mikka broke the news to family and friends with deep sadness although they kept strong for their children. The parents were not ready to sit and wait six hours in a waiting room without knowing what was happening.
There was no clue how many surgeries baby Cameron would need until the operation was performed.
They set dates for the surgery to be done by Dr.Toshihara Shinoka at Nationwide Children's Hospital in Columbus.

Little baby Cameron has went through a lot. He has a rare condition that only affect 5 out of 10,000 children a year. Jimmy Kimmel's son, Billy, was also diagnosed with the same condition that Cameron was. The talk show host talked to viewers about the family and their experiences as well. It was a very emotional and heart warming to all.
Through this sad time the Amore family created a Facebook page and a GoFundMe account. Then things started to get brighter, Kimmel donated 1,000$. They have received a lot of donations and do need more to help pay for the trips to Columbus. Baby Cameron is still growing and smiles through everything. He recently had an oxygen problem and is trying to finally get the open heart surgery August 4th. Young Ryan is caring for her baby brother and says if she could donate her heart she would do it. You can support baby Cameron too. We thank you!
