Helping the Sam's Family: Support for Ellen, Wes, and Their Little Ones

Hi everyone,

We are reaching out to ask for love, prayers, and financial support for our dear friends, Ellen and Wes, during an overwhelming and unexpected season for their family.

Ellen has been in the hospital for over a week and a half dealing with health complications. At the same time, their newborn baby girl, Emerie, is currently receiving care in the NICU and will need to remain there for a while until she can come off oxygen and her feeding tube.

While Ellen and Emerie are receiving the hospital care they need, Wes—the sole financial provider for the family—has had to step away from work. He is currently caring for their two older children, Eisley and Espa, at home, while keeping up with day-to-day responsibilities.

How Your Support Helps

Between mounting daily expenses and the lost income from Wes needing to be away from work to take care of his family, the stress is adding up quickly. We want to lift as much of this financial burden as possible so Wes and Ellen can focus entirely on healing, recovery, and bringing baby Emerie home.

Every donation, no matter the size, will go directly toward:

Covering lost wages and household bills while Wes is off work

Daily necessities (groceries, gas, meals) for Eisley, Espa, and the family

Other Ways to Help

If you aren't able to donate at this time, you can still make a huge difference by:

Sharing this page with your friends, family, and networks.

Keeping Ellen, Wes, Emerie, Eisley, and Espa in your thoughts and prayers.

Thank you so much for your kindness, generosity, and support for this wonderful family when they need it most!

Anything raised over their needs will be donated to the Miracle Babies fund through Northside.
