From 23 Weeks to Miracles: Support Our NICU Journey

Help Us Prepare for Our Baby’s Early Arrival

Hi everyone,

We never imagined we’d be writing something like this, but life has taken an unexpected turn.

At just 23 weeks into our pregnancy, Alicia’s water broke. After rushing to the hospital, we were told she would need to stay here under close monitoring until our baby is born. The goal is to keep our little one safe and growing for as long as possible — but the reality is, we’re preparing to welcome our baby into the world far earlier than we ever expected.

This has been one of the most emotional and challenging times of our lives. We’re doing everything we can to stay strong and positive, but the truth is — we’re scared. With Alicia in the hospital for the foreseeable future and a long NICU stay likely ahead of us, we’re now facing a growing list of unexpected expenses.

We’re reaching out to ask for help. Any support will go toward:

• Keeping up with our regular bills while we’re away from home

• Travel, food, and lodging costs so we can be together through this journey

• Medical supplies and specialized equipment for our baby’s care

• Preparing for the realities of life with a premature newborn

If you’re able to give, please know it means the world to us. And if you can’t, simply sharing our story or keeping us in your thoughts and prayers means just as much.

Thank you for standing with us through this — your support gives us strength and hope as we prepare to meet our little miracle.

With love and gratitude,

Jeff & Alicia
