Hilliard’s journey began before birth, when his family learned during an 18-week ultrasound that he was facing a serious medical condition. Born at 37 weeks with end-stage renal disease, he underwent multiple surgeries immediately after birth and required dialysis and ongoing intensive care.

Today, Hilliard is thriving — meeting developmental milestones, exploring new foods, and finding his voice. During one of the hardest seasons of their lives, Believe In Tomorrow provided comfort, rest, and a sense of normalcy, including helping make Hilliard’s very first Christmas feel so special. We are honored to welcome Hilliard's family at this year’s Benefit & Auction as they share their story of strength, gratitude, and hope.
