Our family is going through an incredibly hard time right now, and we’re asking for prayers and support for Jaden Picucci (22) and his newborn son.

Jaden’s baby boy was born on October 19, 2025, weighing 6 lbs 14 oz, but things took a heartbreaking turn — he was born blue, not breathing, and immediately rushed to the NICU. Doctors discovered the baby was suffering from fentanyl/horse tranqulizer withdrawals due to drug use by the birth mother during pregnancy. Because of this, he’s been fighting through painful withdrawal symptoms, including tremors, feeding difficulties, and severe discomfort. He’s now on morphine for pain management and has a feeding tube to help him gain strength.

Jaden has been at the hospital every single day since his son was born, doing everything he can to comfort and support him. He’ll be missing weeks or even months of work to stay by his baby’s side.

On top of that, Jaden has had to hire an attorney to establish his parental rights and fight for custody of his son. Between the legal fees, loss of income, hospital costs, and basic baby supplies (diapers, wipes, clothes, formula, etc.), he’s facing an overwhelming financial burden.

We’re asking for help — any amount, big or small — to give Jaden the chance to be there for his baby without worrying about losing everything else. Every donation, every share, every prayer truly means the world.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for lifting this young dad and his sweet baby up during such a difficult time.
