Baby Brandon's Family during this time

Hi, my name is Becky, and I am fundraising for my niece Nicole Atkins and her partner Brandon Shaw. Nicole and Brandon have three beautiful children together - 2 sweet girls, and their newest baby - Brandon, was born on June 1st.

On Thursday, July 14th, baby Brandon was diagnosed with RSV at the ER. Then on Friday, July 15th, he stopped breathing at home and had to be rushed to the hospital by ambulance. Once admitted to the hospital, he was diagnosed with pneumonia in addition to the RSV and had more than ten nonbreathing episodes, which is when the doctors decided to put him on a ventilator.

Nicole and Brandon do not live close to the children's hospital where Baby Brandon is - the cost of gas is very high, and they need help to see their baby and their two small daughters as well.

Nicole and Brandon are working full-time jobs; however, Nicole is not able to work right now as she needs to be at the hospital with the baby. They are uncertain how they will be able to pay rent and other monthly bills without her income coming in.

Please consider donating to help Nicole and Brandon be with their son as he fights this disease and not have to worry about how they will be able to see their son and support their family.

Thank you so much.
