Ravyn and Family's Medical/Travel
Donation protected
My name is Jill Harding, and our entire family was thrown into a whirlwind on Monday, January 18, 2016 at 1:21AM.
My youngest daughter, Meghan, and her boyfriend Stetsyn were expecting the joyous arrival of a new baby girl, due in May. On the night of Sunday, January 17th, Meghan began having complications with her pregnancy. Upon arrival at the hospital, she was completely dilated, and had to have an emergency C-section.
At 1:21 AM on Monday, January 18th, 2016, Ravyn Yukina Horst made her way into the world...at 24 weeks gestation. This determined little girl was transported to Nemour's Children's Hospital in Orlando, FL, almost 2 hours away from home. While Meghan stayed behind at our local hospital to recuperate from her C-section, Stetsyn went on to Orlando to be bedside with their new, tiny daughter, as the extremely talented and caring staff at Nemours began working on Ravyn.
This young, hopeful couple now faces at least 3 months of NICU care for Ravyn, and in the meantime, life must still carry on. I'm setting up this GoFundMe account to assist with Meghan and Stetsyn's general expenses and most importantly, medical bills including deductibles, co-insurance, and co-pays from Ravyn's early delivery, and what is sure to be an astronomical bill for Ravyn's care, as she is not covered under current medical insurance. Her care is all uninsured.
Stetsyn is a full-time student, working toward a degree in the medical field, and also served 4 years in the United States Marine Corps. He also gives of his time teaching local kids and adults Tae Kwon Do. Meghan is a full-time student working towards a degree in the literary field, and was also working full time until Ravyn's arrival.
Any funds collected from this campaign will go to covering these expenses for them, and as Meghan's Mom, I'm doing the best I can to assist while still maintaining my full time job and keeping our home so Ravyn will have a loving home to come home to.
Any help anyone can provide would mean the world to all of us, as our main goal is to allow Meghan and Stetsyn to spend as much time as possible with little Ravyn until she is strong enough to come home.
If funds exceed the goal, our wish is to provide any extras toward a donation to Nemours so that they can use it to help other moms and dads with newborns in need of critical care.
I thank you in advance for any help that you provide, and of course you'll see regular updates on Ravyn's progress!
Our motto for Ravyn is simple, and it's from Shakespeare's Midsummer Night's Dream: "Though she be but little, she is FIERCE".
