Ashley and Joe Hartrick are some of the most kind and genuine people I know. Here is the message from Joe:

”Some big life updates. This is my son Cameron, Ashley and I have been trying for awhile now and have finally had a successful pregnancy!

Sadly it hasn't been all good news, without going into detail ashley had to have an emergency surgery this week to keep this guy from coming at 19 weeks. We spent a few nights in a few hospitals going from no hope to a successful surgery that has, hopefully bought him a few more months. Short and sweet version is our son's life depends on a stitch holding.

We have had an emotional and trying couple of years and have already had so much support from our friends and family and thank you all from the bottom of our hearts.

That being said, I'm asking for your prayers again as we are in a place were not much else can be done but hope and pray. We moved back to Bend recently to be near family which has been great for us for support through this, but has stretched us financially and emotionally having to worry about loosing our baby we have been waiting for so long. Thank you all for bearing with me through this rambling post and hopefully my next will be good news and some new baby pictures.”

Ashley and Joe never ask for help, so I asked if it was okay to make them a Go Fund Me account. They have prayed for this baby for many years and these emergencies that have come up has caused a huge financial burden. I’m asking for help on their behalf to cover medical expenses and off-set living expenses since Ashley won’t be able to work for the duration of her pregnancy. Anything helps. This is such an awesome family and I’m praying God uses us to help them during this time.
