Marcus and Vanessa Crosby's daughter, Clara, has a rare congenital lymphatic disease, which requires them to travel to Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) for care. She has already undergone 5 surgeries, which have unfortunately not yet been successful at alleviating her life-threatening symptoms.

In 2024 she was admitted at Boston Children's Hospital for over 6 weeks, and then at CHOP for another 6 weeks. Moving forward, all of her care will be at CHOP, where she is in and out for various treatments and procedures. You can read more about Clara's journey on her CaringBridge.

Although the Crosby’s don’t have a lot of medical bills and are not asking for money (and were even hesitant to let me create this), the ongoing cost of travel to CHOP in Philadelphia is a burden we’d like to help offset. These expenses include hotels, gas, parking, train tickets, and meals. If you’d like to contribute to this financial need, this is a safe place to do so. ALL of the funds collected here will go directly to Clara’s father, Marcus, to go towards travel expenses related to Clara's care.

Thank you for helping bless the Crosby's in this way and please continue to pray for Clara -- that her health will improve and that this whole ordeal leads her to profound closeness to God.
