Hope for Baby Annalise Fund

Donation protected
Greetings! This site has been set up to support  my sister Candace, her husband Kevin, & their unborn baby girl Annalise, throughout their unexpected journey.  Above monetary donations, please lift this beautiful family up in prayer as they face a future full of many unknowns. 

On October 15, 2014, they went in for a routine doctor visit to find out the surprise of a lifetime.....there was something noticeably wrong with their baby girl's brain. This is their first child & up until this point, they never suspected anything to be wrong. After many doctor appointments they were given the diagnosis of HPE (holoprosencephaly).  This happens when the brain fails to divide into two hemispheres. They have been told baby girl has the most severe form because there is no evidence that any separation has occurred. The best case scenario for a baby born with severe HPE is a short lifespan. There is always a chance of baby girl not surviving in the womb as well.  

Candace provides the main income of the household right now because Kevin is in full-time seminary  to become a pastor. Because of this, there is a great need for financial obligations that will arise. There will be many doctor visits and due to the baby's diagnosis, Candace may need to take extended periods of time off of work with their baby when that time comes. They will also need to purchase items for their baby when she arrives. These funds will also be used for funeral expenses if/when that time should occur. 

Their faith in Jesus is what is keeping them strong on a daily basis. I encourage you to follow their blog at:
