My family is facing one of the hardest chapters of our lives, and I am reaching out for support for my sister and my baby niece Maren Lee.

At just 25 weeks, my sweet niece made her way into this world far earlier than expected. She is tiny but mighty, already showing incredible strength as she fights every single day in the NICU. While we are endlessly grateful for the doctors, nurses, and specialists caring for her, the road ahead will be long and uncertain.

Amber and Trey have been by Maren’s side day and night, pouring all their love, strength, and energy into this fight. As you can imagine, this journey comes with overwhelming emotional and financial strain — medical expenses, time away from work, and the countless costs that pile up during such a difficult time.

We want nothing more than to give my sweet niece the best chance at a healthy start to life, and to allow my sister and Trey to focus on what matters most: being there for her baby girl.

The funds raised will go directly toward helping cover medical bills, transportation to and from the hospital, and supporting Amber and Trey as they stay near the NICU for as long as needed. Every donation, big or small, is a lifeline for them right now.

If you cannot donate, simply sharing this page and keeping them in your thoughts and prayers means more than words can say.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for standing with us during this journey.
