Baby Ruger James Ely entered the world on Friday, June 20, 2025. This sweet, beautiful baby boy needs lots of prayers and help for him and his family!

Ruger has a partially collapsed lung. He has air in his lung; as a result, they had to go in through his chest and insert a tube to drain the air. He is on a ventilator, feeding tube, etc.

Children's Hospital is taking great care of him!

Ruger does not have health insurance. His mom was denied assistance due to income before he was born. They have one income; his dad works really hard to take care of his family. Unfortunately, his job does not offer health insurance, so I am asking for help because I know his mom and dad would never ask, even though they are the first to help out anyone in need. If you know this family, then you know how giving, loving, and special they are! So if you can help, I would appreciate it for Ruger, his brother River, and his parents!

Thank you
