Help Welcome OurBaby into the World Support a Family in Need
Donation protected
Hi, my name is John, and my wife Katrina and I just welcomed a beautiful baby into the world here in Utah. While this should be a joyful and peaceful time, we’re facing serious financial challenges with hospital costs for delivery and care.
We’re thankful to have qualified for Utah’s Stork Program, but even with that support, some essential needs are not fully covered — including delivery expenses, baby supplies, and recovery care for Katrina.
In addition to medical needs, we’re also trying to fix up our home to create a safe and comfortable space for our new family. We want to give our baby the best start possible — with a warm, secure place to grow and thrive.
We’ve always tried to stand on our own, but right now we need help. We’re reaching out to friends, family, and anyone willing to support us during this special moment.
Any amount — large or small — will make a real difference. And if you’re unable to give, please consider sharing our story.
From the bottom of our hearts:
Thank you for helping us give our baby a strong and loving start.
— John, Katrina & our new baby
How Funds Will Be Used:
Delivery & hospital costs not covered by Medicaid
Baby essentials (diapers, formula, clothes)
Postpartum recovery needs for Katrina
Emergency transport or medication if needed
Home repairs and improvements to support a safe environment for our growing family
