Hi Everyone, 
In the middle of fire evacuation in September Valorie and Ross welcomed baby Reagen. They soon discovered that Reagen was born with both Cystic Fibrosis   and Down Syndrome, an extremely rare combination.  Reagen has already had one surgery and on Thursday will have heart surgery, the first of several to repair an congenital heart defect.  She has already had several hospitalizations due to illnesses.

Ross and Valorie have been going back and forth from Stanford Children's Hospital and Boulder Creek caring for Reagen in the hospital and her older sister Teagan at home. The family has many expenses related to travel both for going to the hospital and evacuations.  In addition there are medical expenses and general expenses because of time taken off work. Both of them do not like asking for help, but this is an extremely hard time for them with having a sick baby amid the backdrop of a pandemic as well as the recent natural disasters all of us in the San Lorenzo Valley have dealt with. Please let's help them get through this trying time and take some of the financial worries off their shoulders so they can focus on helping Baby Reagen get well and Tegan with school and being a big sister.
