Hi everyone! We're Cristen, Spencer, and Baby Luka Williams and thank you for taking the time to read our story.

Our family is going through an unexpectedly difficult season, and we’re reaching out for support as we try to make it through the next couple of months. Spencer has been dealing with significant health challenges that have impacted his ability to work, and our household income has taken a major hit. At the same time, we welcomed our beautiful baby boy, Luka, just 3 weeks ago. While he has been an incredible blessing, the expenses that come with a newborn have added up quickly.

Cristen is currently on maternity leave, but unfortunately it is not enough to cover all expenses. Through all of this, Spencer has taken on every role he can—keeping up with the house, making meals, managing daily tasks, taking care of the pets, and caring for both Cristen and Luka with so much patience and love. While Cristen focuses on healing and recovering from birth, often needing to sleep when the baby sleeps, Spencer has stepped in to make sure everything else is taken care of. Between caring for Luka, navigating Spencer’s health issues, and handling multiple unexpected life emergencies that have come up all at once, we’ve fallen behind and are struggling to cover our rent for December and January.

We are doing everything we can to stay afloat, but at this point we can’t make it through without help. Any amount—big or small—would make a meaningful difference for our family right now. Your support would help us keep a stable home while Spencer focuses on finding a job that suites his health needs, Cristen cares for our newborn, and we work toward getting back on our feet.

Even if you’re unable to donate, sharing this fundraiser means the world to us.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your kindness, generosity, and prayers. We are truly grateful.

With love,
Cristen, Spencer, & Baby Luka
