Help Bryan and Yari with medical & funeral expense

Donation protected

Hi, my name is Stephanie and on September 4, 2021, my brother and his fiancée Yari welcomed their first child Benjamin. Unfortunately, Benjamin's birth was traumatic. After laboring for more than 2 days and pushing for 2 hours, Benjamin's heart rate plummeted and Yari was rushed to the OR to have an emergency c-section. Benjamin was oxygen deprived for at least 10 minutes and was born not breathing. He was intubated, but doctors' tests showed no sign of brain activity. He was taken to Riley Children's Hospital and placed on cooling blankets to undergo therapeutic hypothermia therapy. On September 7 they will slowly warm him up over the course of 12 hours and a neurologist will help them determine their next steps.

 

Bryan and Yari have spent all of their time at the hospital with Benjamin and have not been able to work. No matter the outcome of the therapy, Bryan and Yari will be unable to work for the foreseeable future, and at the very least, will need support with medical bills, loss of income and costs associated with their time spent at the hospital and during recovery. Please help support them during this difficult time so that they can focus their time and energy on Benjamin. They are also asking for prayers for Benjamin and for themselves. Thank you to everyone for your donations and your support.
