Who is Aliyah?
The Aliyah Mae Foundation was founded in loving memory of Aliyah Mae, who suddenly and unexpectedly gained her wings at just 3 years old following post tonsillectomy surgery complications.
In her short time here on earth with us, Aliyah touched the lives of so many. In fact she left her mark on more people in 3 years, than many do in an entire life time.
Aliyah was and always will be larger than life! Always the biggest personality in the room, she was so unique and special there just aren’t any words to describe how amazing she is.
