UPDATE:

We are overwhelmed with the support everyone has shown Stella!! We're so thankful that people have continued to donate past the goal , because we were really asking for the bare minimum and honestly this is going to cover a lot of gaps. thank you all

Today I received the call we were all hoping for.

The doctors have agreed to move forward with Stella's second transplant, but they need us there in two weeks.

That means we have very little time to prepare, travel, and step away from normal life so we can focus on what matters most: helping Stella survive and heal.

We are raising funds to cover:

• Train tickets to get us to the hospital quickly

• The gap in income while I transfer my job and step away to be with her

• Basic expenses at home while we are gone so we can leave without everything falling apart behind us

We will be staying near the hospital for several months while she undergoes treatment and recovery. This transplant is another chance. A hard one, but a hopeful one.

As a parent, you don’t hesitate. You go.

You sit beside the bed.

You advocate.

You hold hope on the days your child can’t.

Right now, the biggest barrier is simply getting there and stabilizing the practical pieces of life so I can be fully present for her.

If you’re able to help, whether by donating or sharing, it truly makes a difference for our family.

Thank you for helping us get to this next step in her fight.
