Millie Watts is the daughter of Trey and Amanda Watts and an eighth grader at Ottawa Middle School. She is a bright spirit with a deep love for music—especially live performances.

Millie has loved music from day one. She was Jaundice for 14 days when she was born. Trey would sit her on the porch and play guitar for her while she soaked up the sunlight to cure her jaundice.
That was the start of her love for music. Those warm spring days on the porch would calm her spirit.

A couple of years into her life we found that Millie was born with Williams Syndrome, a deletion of the 7th chromosome that occurs in about 1 to 20K births. Williams come with some physical and intellectual challenges. Most Williams Syndrome kids have some health challenges including hypertension and cardiovascular issues, anxiety and specific facial features.  What most kids with Williams Syndrome share though is they feel emotions and love harder than other people. Williams Syndrome kids’ emotions change with the wind. They can physically feel the emotions of others, whatever they may be. This is why music for Millie is such a cornerstone of their life. She feels it harder than anyone else.

Fast forward to May to 2023 and Millie was diagnosed with mid-aortic syndrome, even more rare with only 200 known cases in the world! Millie has many various narrowings throughout her vascular system. This is causing several health issues for her, including heart muscle imbalances and hypertension, kidney function issues and lack of blood flow to the lower extremities.

With a team of specialty doctors from Kansas City and the Boston Children’s Hospital, Millie’s long-term health is very bright. They have proposed an extensive operation to improve her vascular system.

So, we are here to do Millie’s favorite hobby! Have a concert and send her to Boston with great memories! Millie can usually be found at the OMA or Knuckleheads Saloon, anywhere there is live music! She parties way harder than doctors recommend!!! We are Thankful to God for his opportunity, to the OMA, and everyone in this community. Millie has the biggest heart and the best support system we could ever hope for.

Millie's procedure will require her and Amanda to stay in Boston for 7-9 weeks minimum. Flights, meals and housing for them both for the bulk of the stay will be unsupported by insurance or financial programs. But this is her best option for the fullest life!
