We are reaching out to support a young family - Ryan, Ashley, their newborn daughter Dahlia, and son Jakob - who are facing an incredibly difficult time. They are deeply grateful for all they have and hold strong faith that everything will work out, but right now, a helping hand could make a world of difference.

Ryan and Ashley moved to their new town just a year ago and haven't been at their new jobs long enough to build up much sick time. On top of that, Ashley doesn't receive maternity pay. Both parents are currently taking time off to be with their baby girl, Dahlia, who was born six weeks early on September 23rd.

After Ashley's water broke in the middle of the night, she underwent an emergency C-section just three hours later due to a breech complication. Dahlia has been in the NICU at Augusta Hospital since her birth, making steady progress every day - thank God.

As if that weren't enough, Ryan has been battling a colloid cyst in his brain, which was discovered during an MRI checking for a concussion from a football game in high school. The cyst has now grown enough to cause symptoms and will need surgery in the near future as the neurosurgeon recommends. This would be followed by 8 weeks of recovery.

Through it all, little Dahlia Mae has shown incredible strength - an inspiring reminder of love and resilience. Any support you can give this family, whether through a donation, sharing their story, or keeping them in your prayers, will help lighten their burden and make this journey a little easier.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
