A message from Lincoln’s Mama, Jesalyn:

Lincoln is our sweet boy diagnosed with Down Syndrome before being born with his twin sister Nylah. He was born with leukemia, chronic lung disease after having fetal hydrops, and pulmonary hypertension on the right side of his heart. Due to this, the right side of his heart is enlarged and also has a hole called an ASD which needs to be repaired asap before the sick season.

Unfortunately, due to work not qualifying me for FMLA and no time in my leave banks due to maternity leave, I won’t be able to take time off and be paid when he has heart surgery. With 4 other kids at home and bills, I just want to be able to be there for him after a major surgery.
