On May 17th, 2020 Shelby Dishaw &amp; Eric Richards brought Baby Lucas into this world 14 weeks prematurely, weighing just 14.8 oz. Baby Lucas has been in the NICU continually the past 8 months going back and forth from Burlington, VT and Boston, MA. He has been such a little fighter overcoming so many health obstacles, surgeries, and various procedures. Shelby has been by his side since day one, only coming home twice these last 8 months. Eric has been traveling back and forth as much as possible trying to work to support his little family.  At this time, Shelby and Eric are still unsure when Baby Lucas will be able to come home, as he still has many hurdles to conquer before he can safely be discharged. Until then, Lucas will remain in the hospital while he gets bigger and stronger, with his mom and dad by his side. Thankfully, with Shelby being an RN she is able to not only love her baby as a mommy but also take an active part in his care.  After discharge, they are expecting that Lucas will have complex medical needs, requiring long term ventilator support while he grows and gets stronger. Due to this, Shelby will be unable to return to the workforce for an extended period of time while she cares for Lucas at home.  We are creating this go fund me page in hopes to lighten their financial struggle and hardship for cost of travel, gas, food, bills, etc.  When Eric and Shelby are asked how they are doing and if they need anything, they put on a brave face and say: “We got this. We made a vow to do whatever humanly possible to give our little boy a good life”.  But the reality is the Baby Lucas will continue to need very special care for a very long time, preventing Shelby to work outside of the home.   In hopes of easing their minds, we are asking for donations.  Any amount of money, big or small, that you are able to donate would be greatly appreciated.  If you are unable to donate please just say a prayer for Baby Lucas and his parents and send well-wishes their way.  Feel free to share and forward to others. Thank you so much for all your support!!!  God Bless!! <img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/53882502_1610417301114115_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" alt="53882502_1610417301114115_r.jpeg" /> <img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/53882502_161041732382817_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" alt="53882502_161041732382817_r.jpeg" /> <img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/53882502_1610417346886683_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" alt="53882502_1610417346886683_r.jpeg" /> <img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/53882502_1610417396975107_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" alt="53882502_1610417396975107_r.jpeg" /> <img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/53882502_1610417429483360_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" alt="53882502_1610417429483360_r.jpeg" /> <img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/53882502_1610417467228897_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" alt="53882502_1610417467228897_r.jpeg" /> <img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/53882502_161041750574174_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" alt="53882502_161041750574174_r.jpeg" />
