This campaign is for my family members who are facing financial stress due to medical costs and lost wages due to extended hospital stays. 

My sister-in-law Rachel and her husband Dylan welcomed their first child at the end of December 2020, a beautiful baby girl named Raelynn! We love her so much as she has been a huge blessing in our lives! Unfortunately, not too long after her birth Rachel began having severe anxiety attacks that caused problems with her heart. This progressed to additional mental health issues that have caused severe stress on the family. She has been in a dark place and in mental crisis more often than not for the last several months now. She has now been admitted to the hospital for care for the 5th time in just a few months time and it is starting to take a toll on her family. 

Dylan is struggling with taking care of his daughter on his own while working full time, all while medical bills are piling up and worrying about his wife and getting her the help she so desperately needs. Any funds raised will go directly towards  care and medical bills for Rachel as well as support Dylan and his daughter while Rachel is in the hospital.

Here is a quote from Dylan: 
"After my wife gave birth to our daughter Raelynn, she suffered a mental break down with schizoaffective disorder. I have been trying to keep her healthy but due to Oregon law I have to send her to the hospital only to be let out 5 days later. I have checked my wife in 5 times with Oregon refusing to help as I try to care for my child and worry about missing work. The money you give will go to helping pay for medical bills that have piled up."

Please help me support this very worthy family with taking one thing off of their plate! Please help them focus their worries on becoming better and not worry about their financial security. 

Thank you and God bless!
