Help Support Baby Ani and Her Family!!


Sometimes life changes in ways you never see coming. Anush and Relle were preparing to welcome their baby girl, Ani, when everything suddenly became much more difficult than they could have imagined.

Ani arrived at just 32 weeks and 5 days, and what should have been a joyful time became 21 days of NICU stays, uncertainty, and worry as they waited for their little girl to be strong enough to come home.

Ani is now home with her parents, but she continues to need specialized formula, frequent doctors' appointments, and ongoing medical care.

On the same day Anush went into labor with Ani, she was unexpectedly terminated from her job, losing her benefits and health coverage for herself and the children. She has since been blessed with a new teaching position beginning September 28th, but the family is facing a difficult financial gap until then.

Through all of this, Anush is also continuing to work toward her master's degree, while caring for a newborn and navigating everything that has happened.

The family recently received Ani's NICU bill, which is currently well over $100,000 due to her premature birth and emergency care. They have also applied for government assistance but were told they do not qualify.

As difficult as it is for Anush and Relle to ask for help, they are putting their pride aside to make sure Ani has everything she needs.

Funds will help with Ani's medical expenses, specialized formula, appointments, medications, transportation, and other necessities.

Any donation or share can make a meaningful difference!

Thank you for loving and supporting Anush, Relle, Ani, and their family during this difficult chapter. ❤️
