At just 25 weeks, baby Mason entered the world as a micro-preemie, weighing only 2 pounds and measuring 12 inches long. His early arrival comes with serious health challenges and a long, uncertain road to recovery. Every day brings a new hurdle.

Mason has three sisters and a brother waiting for him at home. Unfortunately, because he was born so early, Mom fell just two months short of qualifying for maternity leave at her job. That means no paid time off—right when she needs it most.

Right now, we're facing difficult decisions, including how to address the hole in Mason’s heart. She can’t imagine leaving his side, but the financial strain is real. She is doing everything she can to be there for all her children, but this mama is exhausted and running out of options.

Any support—no matter how small—means the world to us. Thank you for helping us through this incredibly difficult time.
