**Ive been meaning to update this for a while now. Baby Oliver passed away on the 17th of September and I want to say thank you to those who have helped support him during his time with his loving family and mother. The money is being used to pay off the medical bills that accumulated over this past year. Thank you again to all that have helped support Amber, and the family. I’m going to keep the original description up for those who haven’t seen it yet, so they can know what was happening when the go fund me was first launched.

We are reaching out to ask for support for Amber an 18 year old mother, and her newborn son Oliver, who are both facing medical complications.

Amber gave birth to Oliver on June 11th, and has been dealing with preeclampsia since giving birth which has caused dangerously high blood pressure, migraines and vision loss. She has been hospitalized for over a week, and has only been able to hold Oliver a few times since birth.

Little Oliver, born with a ventricular septal defect (VSD), faces his own challenges. Oliver’s heart condition caused him to have extra ventricles leading to his lungs, placing significant strain on his heart and lungs, requiring him to remain in the NICU. Hooked up to extensive medical equipment to help him breathe, Oliver needs a critical surgery to correct his heart, with the median costs estimated between $18,000 and $33,000. Even with this surgery, Oliver is not expected to come home until he is around six months old.

Amber’s mother has been by her side every step of the way, offering unwavering love and support, but the financial and emotional toll is overwhelming. Medical bills have already exceeded $11,000, and with Oliver’s upcoming surgery and ongoing care, the costs continue to mount.

Every donation, no matter the size, will help cover Amber and Oliver’s medical expenses, allowing them to focus on healing and bonding as mother and son. If you’re unable to contribute financially, sharing this campaign with friends and family would mean the world to our family.

Thank you for your compassion, prayers and support during this challenging time.
