July 17, 2025 ****UPDATE****

I would like to start off by saying thank you, again, for the tremendous outpouring of love, support, and shares. The Wilson Family is still trying to navigate the path to what their “new normal” life is. Sara and Harold Clay have continued therapy and doctor appointments. Between them both, their commute to appointments is sometimes on a weekly basis. Just this past week, after 3 months off, Kody returned to work part-time. Sara has yet to go back to work; and unfortunately, might not work for a very long time. Sara battles daily with blurred vision, balance, & nerve pain. The pain radiates down her legs and up throughout her back and arms; like a severe sun burn on the inside of her body. Some days her body feels like a lead weight, but she pushes through. Harold Clay is growing like a weed! He is getting strong and getting through all his therapy sessions well. Please continue to share their story. Kody and Zoey are still navigating through their end of the challenges also. Keep them in your thoughts and prayers.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Alicia

Dear family, friends, and kind-hearted strangers,

I am reaching out asking for your help during one of the most difficult and uncertain times ever faced. My sister, Sara, her fiancé, Kody, and their children, Zoey and Harold Clay, are going through a life-altering medical crisis that has brought on unimaginable emotional and financial strain.

On April 8th, 2025, Harold Clay, came into this world fighting for his life. After a very difficult delivery, Harold Clay was immediately med flighted to UW Health American Family Children's Hospital in Madison, facing serious medical challenges. He has been diagnosed with Neonatal Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE) — a type of brain injury caused by lack of oxygen at birth — and Supraventricular Tachycardia (SVT), a heart condition that requires close monitoring and care. After a 3 week stay in the NICU, his condition requires ongoing medical treatments, developmental therapy, and specialized support as he grows.

Once home, Sara had some medical concerns of her own and has been recently diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) — a chronic, unpredictable disease that affects the central nervous system. MS has already begun to impact her vison, mobility, energy, and daily functioning. She now requires ongoing therapy, medical treatments, and home adaptations to maintain her independence and quality of life.

As a result, both Sara and Harold need intensive care, therapy, and major changes to their home and lifestyle. They are doing everything they can but have quickly become overwhelmed by the growing costs and the emotional toll.

What They Need Help With:

• Medical and therapy expenses for both Sara and Harold

• Home modifications to make it wheelchair accessible

• Covering monthly bills and essential living expenses due to lost wages

• Emotional and practical support for both Kody and Zoey, who are also navigating the impact of these challenges

If you’re not in a position to give, please consider sharing their story. Every share brings them closer to someone who might be able to help. Thank you.

Kindly,

Alicia
