Meet The OC Ambassador Family

 

 

The Caspers

David and Alyssa Casper joyfully welcomed their daughter, Olivia Marleau Casper, on January 7, 2022, following a smooth pregnancy. Olivia's birth took an unexpected turn, resulting in an emergency c-section due to her umbilical cord being wrapped around her neck three times. The lack of oxygen during the critical moments before resuscitation led to severe brain damage. David rushed their newborn to CHOC hospital while Alyssa recovered from the operation. Olivia underwent a 72-hour cooling process in hopes of minimizing brain damage, and the following weeks proved critical. During Olivia's six-week stay at CHOC, David remained at the hospital, documenting their journey and seeking answers for the uncertain road ahead. After her discharge, Alyssa split her time between recovering in a nearby hotel and supporting her family. The couple discovered the invaluable support of the March of Dimes during this challenging period, providing resources, answers, and a community that helped them navigate the unknown. Olivia, released on February 14, 2022, has since defied expectations, growing into a thriving toddler who loves music, dance, animals, and outdoor activities—thanks to the combined care of CHOC and the invaluable support of the March of Dimes.
