At her 16 weeks of pregnancy, my sister found out they were having a baby boy. He was diagnosed with Trisomy 21, Down Syndrome, when she had prenatal genetic testing done.
Jeremiah was born on February 6, 2020 with a rare form of congenital heart defect that affects one to two children per year in the United States. Currently his residence is at a Dallas hospital in the Pediatric Cardiac ICU and he has been there since birth. He is now 5 months old.
My sister has been a stay-at-home mom since having my niece, Aaliyah, who is now three years old. For the last 5 months, my sister and BIL have been staying at a hotel in order to be close to Jeremiah's hospital; which is a 2 hour drive from home. My BIL has managed to work three days per week. However, since Jeremiah's health has been more critical the last 3 weeks; he hasn't been working in order to be there to support my sister emotionally and help with my niece.
I'm asking for many prayers for Jeremiah and my family; but also for any donation you can help with during this overwhelming time.
This Go Fund Me will help my sister and BIL with all the non medical bills, food expenses, and the day to day expenses they have while they are away from home.
