Baby Mattie Lynn and Hailey Jo

Hi, my name is Ian and my cousin Amy Dillman was one of the first people to hold me when I was born. I moved to central Florida a few years ago and now I have 2 children. I realize now how lucky I am. My children were born without complication and are very healthy.

Earlier this week my Cousin Amy gave birth to twins. After spending a few days in the hospital and the doctors working hard to keep the babies from being born, the inevitable came. Baby Mattie and Hailey came into this world at barely 24 weeks. From now until sometime into February the babies will have to remain in the hospital, in the NICU.

Mom and dad (Keith Dillman) live and work almost 90 minutes from the hospital. For the next several months these two are going to be traveling, pumping milk, and living on the road. This is one of the deepest sacrifices new parents could be asked to make.

I think we all know the cost of hospital stays. Now imagine the cost of having two babies in the NICU for approximately 90 days.  We are asking for your help to cover hospital bills, travel costs, etc. No gift is too small. Thank you for your help, prayers, thoughts, and any other efforts you are making.
