#BringingupBrinley

Hello, my name is Gary Ralston, I am the baby brother of Lynda Ralston and newly appointed Godfather of Brinley, my brand new niece.   In times of hardship, it is common to lean on others, I am reaching out today because sometimes help is needed beyond your closest person.
Sometimes you need to lean on your community and your family near and far.  

If any of you know Lynda she has been an Angel in your life somehow, to the smallest detail; a smile to cheer you up, a dinner plate when you’re hungry, a hand to help you up, or a place to stay on those rainy nights.  Lynda has and always will be the warmest heart you could meet.  Her laughter is contagious and you probably have never seen her cry.  Anyone is lucky to know her.  One thing you might also know is she is not one to ask for help but always willing to give it.  

The never asking for help thing is the reason I am writing this post.  For as long as I can remember she has been a light in our lives and one of the best Aunt’s any one of my nieces and nephews and son could ever have.
She has prayed and hoped to one day be a mom herself, although several times she was told it would be a miracle.

Well, if anyone believes in Miracles it is our Lala.  

You may have read her post on Facebook about her journey to motherhood and the luck of a little KETO.
Finally making the miracle a reality, she has been blessed with her true love, Little Brinley.   You may also know along the way, Lala has run into quite a few bumps.  She was on bed rest because of complications that she couldn’t help. Her little mini-me was so excited to see the world she kept trying to come early.  Lala has done her very best to keep her nestled safe and warm, but Brinley kept trying to get out.  Now how can you blame her, of course, with a woman like Lala being your Mom I couldn’t wait either.   We were blessed with dear sweet Baby Brinley 12 weeks early.  Now this little darling is fighting to grow in the NICU.  She is a fierce fighter and is getting closer to being snuggled in Lala’s arms every day.  

Lala is, currently, in her fourth hospital stay, causing her expenses to add up drastically while her income can’t keep up with the current situations in the world.  So here is where the asking for help comes in.  I know we are in a trying time right now, but this miracle is here and the added stress of the medical bills and NICU stays is weighing heavy on her heart.  Help me ease that burden.  If you know her, if her smile has ever cheered you up if her hand has ever served you a plate if her heart has ever let you in….. Help me to let her know we got her back.
Anything helps and we are incredibly grateful for even the tiniest bit of generosity.  Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.     #bringingupBrinley
