Support sweet family and NICU baby boy

Aloha community and ohana.

Our dear mama (Sam) and family are looking for any prayers and or donations to help them stabilize on Oahu to be with their baby boy after a traumatic early labor and emergency c section. Baby was delivered at just 29 weeks gestation. 

She’s been a healer in our community for 8+ years also adorning many of us in her handmade upcycled clothes. 

They’ve been displaced to Honolulu for several weeks now and will be indefinitely as baby is expected to stay in NICU until march. They have been disabled from working and they are currently in unstable housing conditions. They need a safe space for respite. Ultimately to bring baby home to a new home on Oahu as he will need long term care in Honolulu. 

The rental they were in on Big island was a factor in his early delivery stemming from water health standards not met by the property owners. 

Both parents have been disabled from working as they have attended markets long term as source of income. They have applied for markets on Oahu but there are wait lists, and mama is still recovering. Would like for them to not have to worry about such things and focus on baby and themselves.

Goal is $22,000 with intention to support them through the entire 3 months projected in NICU. This will help in getting a rental and paying deposit, and all the costs associated with transitioning to another island with baby in hospital.

ANYTHING HELPS. Both small or large makes a difference for this family. Alleviating the financial stress of things is the most beneficial support at this moment. 

Calling on all my sisters and mothers and daughters to pray for spirit to walk alongside them.

They are also requesting all prayers and well wishes for baby boy to pull through strong.
