On February 19, 2025, our sweet lil guy Waylon Miller came into the world facing unimaginable challenges. He was born with a serious condition called gastroschisis, which means his intestines developed outside of his body. Since birth, this strong little fighter has already undergone multiple surgeries to carefully place his organs where they belong and begin the healing process.

But that was only the beginning.

During his treatment, doctors discovered that Waylon also has a condition called craniosynostosis — a birth defect in which the bones in a baby’s skull fuse too early, before the brain has fully developed. Normally, a baby’s skull is made up of soft plates that are not yet fused, allowing room for the brain to grow. In Waylon's case, some of those sutures closed too soon. If left untreated, craniosynostosis can lead to complications with brain development, increased pressure inside the skull, and long-term neurological issues.

He will now need another major surgery to correct this and give his brain the space it needs to grow and thrive.

Thankfully, insurance is covering the medical costs, and for that, we are so grateful. However, the emotional and financial strain on Easton & Kaylee, his parents has been overwhelming. Easton has been able to work, but Kaylee is unable to. With moving up north, travel back and forth to the hospital, time away from work, and mounting everyday expenses, they’re doing everything they can — but it’s a lot.

We’re asking for your help to support this amazing family during such a difficult time. Every donation helps, no matter the size — and even if you’re not in a position to give, sharing this campaign means the world.

If you'd prefer to donate directly instead of through GoFundMe, we’ve also included my Venmo, and it will be given to her.

With gratitude,
