Help Baby Sterling Fight Congenital Heart Disease

Dear friends, family, and kind-hearted supporters,

My name is Lauren Burk, Aunt to our newest sweet Burk addition, Sterling Wayne.

Although Marshall and Maci are prepared as they can be and would never ask for the help, I am reaching out with hopeful spirits as we ask for your support as they prepare to welcome their first baby boy, Sterling Wayne. While this is one of the most joyful times of their lives, they are facing an incredibly difficult journey ahead.

Baby Sterling has been diagnosed with congenital heart disease and will need life-saving surgery immediately after birth. This means an extended stay in the hospital, a long road to recovery, and unimaginable emotional and financial stress for his loving parents.

Marshall and Maci will be away from home for at least 3 weeks, possibly longer, while they stay by their baby’s side. They will also need to take significant time off work, adding financial strain on top of an already overwhelming situation.

We want to ease their burden so they can focus on what truly matters—being there for their little warrior. Your generous donations will help cover:

❤️ Medical expenses not covered by insurance

❤️ Travel and lodging costs while they are away from home

❤️ Loss of income due to time off work

❤️ Essential expenses during this challenging time

Every contribution, big or small, will make a difference and will help their little family tremendously. If you are unable to donate, please consider sharing this fundraiser to help spread the word. Most importantly, we ask for your prayers, love, and positive thoughts for Maci, Marshall, and Baby Sterling.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your kindness and support. Let’s rally around this family and show them they are not alone in this fight.

With love and gratitude,

An Aunt on a Mission
