My name is Stephanie, and I have known and loved Nevaeh Shrake for a very long time; first, as her mentor through my employer, and now as a beloved member of my chosen family. All proceeds will go directly to Nevaeh.

Nevaeh was supposed to have more time.

More time to prepare. More time to dream. More time to wait for the moment she would finally meet her baby boy.

Instead, everything changed in an instant.

On March 24, 2026, three months early, baby London entered the world—tiny, fragile, and fighting. Rather than going home wrapped in blankets and love, he was rushed into the NICU at St. Vincent Hospital in Portland, where he now spends his days surrounded by machines, monitors, and a dedicated team working tirelessly to help him grow stronger.

And Nevaeh? She shows up every single day.

She sits beside him, watches every breath, learns every beep and alarm, and holds onto hope with everything she has. She is doing what any mother would do—staying close, staying strong, and loving her baby through one of the hardest possible beginnings.

But this kind of fight comes with more than just emotional weight.

The long drives back and forth. The cost of staying close to the hospital. Meals grabbed in between visits. The unknowns of what London will need when he’s finally strong enough to come home.

It adds up quickly—and it’s a burden no parent should have to carry alone during a time like this.

We are asking for your help to surround Nevaeh and London with support.

Your donation will help cover:

• Transportation so Nevaeh can be with London as often as possible

• Lodging so she can stay close during this critical time

• Meals during long, exhausting days at the hospital

• Support and essentials for when London is ready to come home

London is already showing us how strong he is. Now it’s our turn to show up for him—and for Nevaeh.

If you’re able to give, thank you. If you can share their story, thank you. And if you can keep them in your thoughts, that matters too.

Because no one should have to go through this alone—and together, we can help carry them through.
