Old Bridge, New Jersey—The story of Ali Rose Modica, a once vibrant 4-year-old girl who faced a sudden and life-threatening health crisis, has captured the hearts of many. What started as a typical childhood in a New Jersey neighborhood took a drastic turn when Ali Rose had to be rushed to Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia due to complications from the flu virus. Despite having no prior medical conditions, the young girl’s survival was hanging by a thread, with doctors giving her a 65% chance of making it through.
The Modica family, originally from Richmond but now residing in Old Bridge, N.J., had to watch as their daughter fought for her life, suffering cardiac arrest and significant organ damage as a result. Ali Rose’s parents, Dalainna and Joseph, held onto hope and sought out medical professionals specializing in stem cell research for non-traumatic brain injuries. Their mission was to give Ali Rose the fighting chance she deserved to heal, speak, walk, and regain independence once more.
As Ali Rose continues her journey towards recovery, her family has turned to their community for support. Friends of the Modicas have initiated a Go Fund Me campaign to raise funds for Ali Rose’s therapy and ongoing stem cell research. Every contribution made is a step closer to helping Ali Rose overcome her challenges and potentially pave the way for others facing similar conditions in the future. The family has also reached out to health care professionals in hopes of finding new research or treatment options that could benefit Ali Rose and others like her.
In the midst of this difficult time, the Modicas are spreading awareness about Ali Rose’s condition, hoping to connect with experts in stem cell studies related to hypoxic brain injuries following cardiac arrest. Their determination to find answers and solutions speaks to the unwavering love and support they have for their daughter. With the community rallying behind them, the Modica family remains hopeful that Ali Rose’s story will inspire others to take action and make a difference in the lives of those in need.
