Help Support Malena & Baby Lincoln

We’re coming together as a Bill Estes Toyota family to support our amazing teammate, Malena and her husband Matthew, who is facing a heartbreaking and high-risk medical journey as she prepares to welcome her baby boy, Lincoln, far earlier than expected.

At just 29 weeks pregnant, Malena has endured more than most can imagine. She has battled severe hyperemesis gravidarum (extreme nausea and vomiting), undergone emergency gallbladder surgery, and is now facing pre-eclampsia, a dangerous pregnancy complication that has made it necessary to deliver baby Lincoln prematurely.

Her husband was also recently laid off and has just started a new job and unfortunately has to work instead of being by his wife’s side to try to keep some money coming in.

Baby Lincoln arrived 10/09/25 weighing just over 1 pound and will need to spend an extended period in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). He has a long road ahead, but he’s already proving to be a fighter — just like his mom.

While Malena and Lincoln are in the hospital, we’re asking our community to help ease the emotional and financial strain she and her family are facing. The costs of medical care and time away from work, and travel to and from the hospital are adding up quickly.

We are hoping to raise funds to support Malena during this incredibly difficult time — so she can focus on what matters most: healing and caring for baby Lincoln.

Whether you can give $5 or $50, every donation makes a difference. And if you’re not in a position to donate, please consider sharing this fundraiser and keeping Malena and Lincoln in your thoughts and prayers.

Let’s show Malena the strength of the Asbury Automotive family and community.
