The Grimaluskus Family & Baby Olivia

I have had the pleasure of working with Bri as a special education paraprofessional for the past two years. Bri is one of the most positive people I have ever met. She can find the silver lining in nearly everything. Her kindness and dedication to the children in her program, her co-workers and the people in our community is admirable. I was overjoyed when Bri told me that she was expecting, and knew how much she wanted to be a mom. September 25th, this dream became a reality, though it was not supposed to be her reality until November! Olivia Michelle was born premature and weighed in at just 3lbs 10.6oz.

While she is currently doing well, impressing the hospital staff with her "spicy" attitude and strength, Olivia has a long road ahead of her. Her sudden arrival and long term stay in the NICU will be costly.

After many conversations with Bri, and so many people wanting to help the family out, she and Steve decided it was time to accept the offers of help. The unplanned expenses have put extra stress and worry on the family at a time they should be focusing on health, healing and bonding with their daughter.

Please consider donating and sharing this Go Fund Me to support The Grimaluskus family. All donations received will be used to pay for medical expenses, housing costs and gas expenses as they travel daily to be with Olivia at the NICU.

Let's help Bri and Steve so that they can focus all their energy on Olivia, her healing and getting her home this November!
