Baby Gabe Koller
Donation protected
Medical necessity has placed this family in need. Mike and Penny Koller were expecting their first child, Gabriel Michael, in October. While away for the weekend in St. Pete, two hours away from home, Penny’s water broke at just 26 weeks of pregnancy. She was rushed to the hospital and admitted. It was too dangerous to have her moved, so she had to be put on bed rest until it was safe for Baby Gabe to be delivered. Mike was not able to visit Penny, and was forced to go back home and continue working until Penny would be induced in eight weeks, leaving Penny in St. Pete, FL.
After a week under the great care of the doctors and nurses...Penny began to go into labor at 27 weeks...And little Gabe was born July 13, 2020 weighing in at 2 lbs 9 Oz's. Baby Gabe will need to be under the care of the hospital until Oct 10th...or until he is strong enough to go home. After Penny goes home, she & Mike will have to commute the hour & forty-five minutes back and forth to visit their first born son. Gabe is doing well...but needs to grow big and strong. We have all prayed for this sweet boy, and can't wait until he is home safely in their arms!
Mike is the worship leader at Church of Grace, and volunteers his time and talent to the church. He works six days a week in sales & rental at Sound Exchanged in Ocala FL. Penny is a CNA at The Villages Hospital but will need to be out of work for a while in order to be there for their baby boy.
As it takes both of their incomes to support their household, it is going to be very tough for them to cover typical living expenses, not to mention the medical bills, and the expense of commuting to and from the hospital.
And...of course Baby Gabe is too special to come home without the things that he will need for him and his nursery. So...there is also a need for a baby shower, or items for this bundle of joy. Any monetary amount would be greatly appreciated for this couple as they journey through this difficult time.
Thank you for all your prayers, and for your love gift if you should feel in your heart to give. You are greatly appreciated! May God bless you!!!
