Our sweet friends Sam and Bella are walking through something no one ever expects. At just 25 weeks pregnant, Bella’s water broke. She’s now in the hospital on bedrest until their little one is ready to make his arrival — which is about 11 weeks away.

What was supposed to be a joyful season of preparing the nursery and soaking in the excitement of pregnancy has turned into hospital rooms, uncertainty, and a very long wait. Through it all, Sam and Bella have shown so much strength and faith. They are trusting God with every detail, but the reality is this season comes with emotional, physical, and financial challenges.

Bella won’t be able to work while she’s in the hospital, and Sam is doing everything he can to care for her and prepare for their baby. This GoFundMe is one small way we can come alongside them — to help cover hospital bills, meals and everyday expenses. Most importantly, it’s a way to remind them they’re not alone in this.

If you feel led, please consider donating to lighten their load during this time. And just as important, keep them in your prayers — for Bella’s strength, for their baby boy’s continued growth and health, and for peace and comfort to surround them both in the weeks ahead.

Sam and Bella mean so much to us, and we know their story will be one of hope and God’s faithfulness. Thank you for loving them with us.
