Help the Hupps

Hi, my name is Allison Berryman and I am fundraising for my sister-in-law Natalie, brother-in-law, Neal, and their newest precious miracle, Penelope Florence.

Back in November of 2022 Natalie and Neal learned their baby had developed a severe growth restriction as well as an enlarged heart, umbilical blood flow restriction, intestinal restrictions, brain abnormalities and a few other oddities and were told to prepare for possible prenatal death.

Jump forward 8 weeks and while at one of their regular follow-ups with their physicians in Marquette, their baby girl started showing signs of distress. They were sent down to UofM in Ann Arbor and within a few hours all physicians on the team were in agreement that if they waited any longer to deliver they may lose her.

Against all odds at 8 weeks premature, and only the size of a 24 week developed baby, Penelope Florence joined us earthside at 1lb 5oz and 11.5 inches long. There are still so many hurdles to climb, surgeries to have and a lot of recovery in order to make it home.

Natalie and Neal have and continue to be the epitome of strength and grace through this journey. They never ask for help and are the first to help out others without ever wanting any recognition for what they do. We, as their family members, ask that you rally around them with us, and provide them with both prayer and financial support. Any amount you can give will be deeply appreciated!
