<div>Hello, my name is Stephen Easter. I never imagined using this platform, let alone for a child I now have who was in the NiCU. Willow Easter 3/12/23 4lbs 2oz born with CMV virus. She’s doing better daily but still fighting. After two other kids you just always think they will be ok, until they aren’t. We only travel about 50 miles a day to visit her, but also have a 6 and 11 year old in school so it’s still a lot of travel. Mom is just not getting able to drive after her C-section. I work for my family used car lot but I haven’t been able to work for weeks now. She will be in cabell huntington for a month or more, so any help will be greatly appreciated. I hate to even ask this of anyone but with gods help and prayer we can make it through this.
</div>

</div>
<div>(ps please excuse any grammar mistakes, I will try and get back when I ever have time to clean it up more. Lol thanks and god bless)
</div>
