Get Cooper back to Minnesota!

Dear Friends and Family,

We are reaching out to you today with a heavy heart and a plea for help. Our sweet Cooper is currently fighting in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) at AdventHealth in Orlando Florida, far from the comfort of home.

During a family vacation to Disney, Cooper had a medical emergency while walking into Hollywood Studios and was rushed to the hospital and ended up intubated and life-flighted to the PICU. Unfortunately, Cooper is septic due to what the doctors believe is an E. coli infection stemming from his gut due to his Crohn's. Despite the incredible medical care he is receiving, Dave and Angel can’t wait to be back home, surrounded by the love and familiarity of their family and local team of doctors.

As Cooper fights, Angel and Dave are faced with the financial burden of ensuring his safe journey back home.

Also, due to the critical nature of Cooper's illness, and being away from their home offices, Dave and Angel are unable to work.

This is where we need your help.

Every donation, no matter the size, will make a significant difference in bringing Cooper home and relieving the financial burden. Your generosity will directly contribute to covering the expenses associated with the logistics of getting everyone home safely, medical bills, and other necessary expenses ensuring that Cooper can be reunited with his siblings and Dave and Angel can breathe a little easier. And, let’s be honest, some funds will also be used for daily Starbucks for Angel and Dave’s sanity and a gigantic box of goldfish for Coopie once he’s feeling up to it. ♥️

We understand that times are tough for many, but we sincerely ask you to consider contributing what you can. If you are unable to contribute, please consider sharing this on your socials. Together, we can alleviate some of the stress and financial strain on Cooper's family, allowing them to focus solely on providing love and support to Cooper.

Please join us in this journey of hope, compassion, and solidarity. Let's rally together to bring Cooper back home, where he belongs. Even though we all know he would probably choose to stay in Florida just a bit longer to kiss some princesses and ride his favorite rides. :)

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your kindness, support, and generosity.

With love and gratitude,

Cooper's Family and Friends
