Help Baby Aspen for his Heart Surgery!
Donation protected

I set this go fund me up for my nephew Aspen Provencher! I mean he is so perfectly perfect! This Aunty could go on forever about how simply amazing he is, but let me give you a little back story. He was born via emergency C-section on December 24th, 2020 weighing 4 Lbs 3 oz. He was born premature & with Down syndrome. He was in the hospital for over a month. He is four months old now and he weighs 9lb 7 oz. Next week he has to go to Boston children's hospital to have Heart surgery. The reason for me asking you all for help is Aspen and my 4 other niece and nephews have two of most loving & caring parents any child could ask for. Seriously they would do anything and everything for their children. Since Aspens early arrival and the complications from down syndrome it's caused him to have a very long stay in the hospital. Do to all this his parents Terry & Amanda Provencher have barely been treading water financially. Know this, they would never ask anyone for help taking care of their children. It's not who they our as people. I have seen them rearrange their whole life in the last 4 months and never complain one time. From numerous nights in the hospital, to so many trips to fletcher Allen, to now Boston children's hospital for his surgery. All while they took care of their 2 other children that are still at home and continuing to work. Terry even got done his job at NSCF to go back to work at his old job at the saw mill. This way he could have more flexibility to be there every step of the way for Apen. When I said Apen has two of the most amazing parents it wasn't an exaggeration. Terry & Amanda have always been there for their family & friends. They never hesitate lending a helping hand. They are selfless people. Terry has fought twice over seas for our country. He still doesn't even think it's that big of deal. He looks at like he would do anything to make sure the people he loves are safe no matter what. Now they are facing a hard time. Not only financially but emotionally having to see their sweet baby boy go threw all this. I am hoping that by setting this up we can relieve even a little bit of their financial strain. That way next week when they go to Boston for Aspen, they have one less thing on their mind. They deserve to only have to worry about Aspen surgery and a his recovery. Not about missing work, the cost of staying in a motel, gas or food. All the cost that comes with being away from home for that long. I'm asking from the bottom of our hearts if you can spare even a few dollars please donate. Seriously there is no better family to help then the Provenchers. They are always the first to help if its needed. Now let's do the same for them. Let's show them that they have so many people who are in there corner. Who want to make it so Aspen can have both his parents by his side next week. In the 4 short months Aspen has been here he has stole all our hearts. Even with all his health problems and being hooked up to oxygen & heart monitor machine all day he still is constantly smiling and happy. I honestly think its because he knows he has the most loving parents that will make sure he will be okay. I'll wrap this up with please donate. If you can't donate then share this please. So it gets seen by as many people as possible. You can also send Donations to 911 Glover Road, Newport VT 05855 Thank you so very much.
