For precious Penny - Helping the long Family

Donation protected

Hello friends and family, 
Meet Beautiful Penny.
I have started this gofundme for our beautiful friends who's hearts are hurting, their new baby is currently in the NICU in Victoria for the unforeseeable future. If you have met this family you know how caring and loving they are to everyone they meet and would do anything to help those they care about. This is a great way to return the love. Between traveling to be with Penny and Sophia in Victoria and taking care of their three girls who are home in the Valley, Taylor won't be able to be working nearly as often. 
If you would like to help that would be greatly appreciated - if you would like to send them a donation directly you can email Sophia for her email address. 
A food train is in the works as well.
I understand right now is a hard time for everyone, so even sharing or sending positive thoughts for this beautiful family will make a difference. 

Here is Penny's story;
Penny was born February 2nd, at 1:51am, weighing 6lbs11oz.
After coming into this world fast and furiously, this sweet girls fight began. She struggled to breathe and needed support right away. As the hours went on it became evident something wasn’t right and we would be needing more complex care from a larger hospital.
Penny was transferred to Victoria General Hospitals NICU. We have been here for the longest & hardest 3 days of our entire lives, and this is only the beginning. With every passing hour her list of complexities ran longer, painting us a picture that has shattered us to pieces.
So far we know she has an unknown genetic condition, and don’t know her prognosis. Her first set of chromosomal testing has come back clear and now we wait several weeks for more in depth testing results to come back. She has multiple physical differences, and several of her organs are effected.
While we don’t know what the future holds for miss Penny, we are spending our time loving and reassuring her. She is so perfect, and loved beyond measure. We are taking this moment by moment and will do what needs to be done to ensure Penny’s life is beautiful.
Healing from birth without my baby and away from home has been the most gut wrenching experience of my life. It is so so wrong and it should never have to be this way.
Please pray/send love for our girl and to our family as we navigate this incredibly hard journey. We appreciate everyone’s support and well wishes and ask that you please give us privacy at this time while we grieve and heal. We will keep everyone updated via social media as we know more details about what miss Penny’s future holds.
