While Ryan and Jess Kelsch are excited about the arrival of their daughter Emilia Lee Kelsch, she was born very preterm at only 27 weeks. She was born Aug 6th, weighing only 2 lbs 12oz. She is doing amazingly well, considering she was 13 weeks early, but will require some time in the NICU.

As Ryan’s aunt, I am asking for donations to help support Ryan and Jess while they navigate the long road ahead of them with their other two daughters at home as well. They will need help with loss of income and travel expenses.

If you would prefer to send money directly to Jess and Ryan you can Venmo Jess at @Jessica-Kelsch-2
