Ava Urrea suffers from hypolastic left heart syndrome, which means she was born with half a heart. Over her lifetime, she’s had 14 surgeries, but she is a strong little girl. As a gesture of kindness, the Raiders recently made Ava captain for the day and also bestowed upon her a signed helmet and football. But Ava’s day didn’t stop there.
