FULLY FUNDED! Unexpected expenses for baby Lawrence PAID!

Sarah and Seth have fully surpassed their goal - THANK YOU!

**Help Support this Young Family in Need: Donate Today!**

Seth and Sarah are facing a difficult time and need support from family, friends, faith community, coworkers, local community, and even friends they haven't met yet. Seth and Sarah met in college in North Greenville, SC. Since graduating, Sarah has been a devoted teacher, and Seth, a dedicated Baptist preacher. They have been married since May 2022 and are navigating the joys and challenges of parenthood with their precious 4-month-old baby boy, Lawrence Giles.

The blessings and happiness have been abundant, but over the last 2 months they have been surprised by FIVE different bouts of intense infections all hitting Sarah. These infections escalated from doctors and urgent care visits to the emergency room and two hospital stays. Rounds and rounds of various IV and oral antibiotics and teams of doctors are working together to figure out how to fully eliminate a very stubborn and serious bacterial infection.

Due to these infections, antibiotics and after discussions with medical professionals, breastfeeding is no longer an option. Therefore, this young, beautiful couple are now faced with the financial burden of purchasing expensive hypoallergenic formula (both parents have food allergies) for the next 8 months.

As they continue to serve others and raise their child with love and care, they need our help to make sure their baby gets the nutrition he needs to grow strong and healthy. Hypoallergenic formula is a vital necessity, but the cost is overwhelming and unplanned.

**How You Can Help**

Every donation, big or small, will go directly to Seth and Sarah and towards providing this young family with the formula they need during this challenging time. Your generosity will ease their financial stress and allow them to focus on what truly matters—caring for their baby, returning Sarah to full health and continuing their important work in the community.

Let’s come together to support this incredible family, so they can focus Sarah's health and raising their child without worrying about the burden of these new expenses. Your donation will make a big difference.

Our fund goal is an estimate based on the following:

The minimum = $4,500. The estimate is based on 2 weeks of formula feeding done during Sarah's first hospital stay and round of antibiotics where she was advised not to breastfeed. That cost was ~$125 per week. They will need formula to cover 34 weeks until Lawrence's first birthday. The math isn't precise, as we added $250 to cover some variation in his appetite. Sarah was exclusively breastfeeding before her first hospital stay through three previous episodes of mastitis.

If we exceed our goal: Sarah has exhausted all but a few days of her allotted PTO days (personal time off). It is possible that she will need to take additional time before school lets out without pay. Estimate $1,000

Medical expenses have been mostly covered by very good insurance, but this family does pay for standard co-pays, certain percentages of co-insurance costs, and costs for prescriptions. They have already spent thousands of dollars. It would be great to give them back $1,000.

THANK YOU for your love, compassion, and support during this crucial time. It takes a village, and they need a bigger village right now. Please join them. Every donation helps both financially and emotionally. Please share with your friends and family too!
