<div><strong>Update: WELCOME HOME SON!  </strong>
</div>
<div><strong>We dreamed of this moment for 117 long days, and we still can’t believe we got to bring our baby home.

But while our biggest prayer was answered, our financial struggle didn’t end when Kailo left the NICU. We’ve spent months doing everything we could to stay afloat while being by his side, and we now have a lot to rebuild.

We’re asking for help as we try to catch up on rent, bills, and the expenses that piled up during Kailo’s hospitalization and getting him the last little bit he needs. We’re home together, but we’re not out of the woods financially.

If you can donate, share, or simply keep our family in your thoughts, it means more than we could ever explain.  Thank you all for the prayers, support, love, sharing our GoFundMe, the kindness and donating. We’re forever grateful! </strong>

 <strong>112 Days. One Tiny Fighter. One Big Prayer.</strong>



</div>



<div>
 <br />



</div>



<div>
 On May 12, our son came into this world at just 25 weeks and 6 days.



</div>



<div>
 <br />



</div>



<div>
 <strong>For 112 days, we’ve watched our tiny boy fight battles no baby should ever have to face—blood transfusions, a Grade 1 brain hemorrhage, chronic lung disease, ROP, oxygen, feeding tubes, and so many days of uncertainty.</strong>



</div>



<div>
 <br />



</div>



<div>
 We’ve cried. We’ve prayed. We’ve celebrated the tiniest victories.



</div>



<div>
 <br />



</div>



<div>
 And through it all… he continues to keep fighting.



</div>



<div>
 <br />



</div>



<div>
 Now we are finally getting closer to bringing him home.



</div>



<div>
 <br />



</div>



<div>
 <strong>But after 112 days in the NICU, our family is struggling financially.</strong> The bills never stopped, and we’re doing everything we can to care for our baby while also being there for his brothers at home.



</div>



<div>
 <br />



</div>



<div>
 So we’re asking for something incredibly hard for us to ask for:



</div>



<div>
 <br />



</div>



<div>
 <strong>Help.</strong>



</div>



<div>
 <br />



</div>



<div>
 If you can donate, even $5 means more than you know.



</div>



<div>
 <br />



</div>



<div>
 If you can’t, please continue to pray and share our story.



</div>



<div>
 <br />



</div>



<div>
 We just want what every parent wants:



</div>



<div>
 <br />



</div>



<div>
 Our baby home and our family finally together.



</div>



<div>
 <br />



</div>



<div>
 Thank you for sharing our son’s story, the love, support, and prayers.



</div>



<div>
 <br />



</div>



<div>
 112 <span>days in the NICU… and we’re still praying for the day we get to bring him home!</span>
