Support for Baby Leo Francis and His Parents, Haley and Joey

On Sunday, July 27th, our family welcomed baby Leo Francis into the world—beautiful, strong, and arriving a bit earlier than expected at just 35 weeks gestation. Due to his preterm birth, Leo has faced breathing challenges and has been receiving specialized care in the NICU at Hillsboro Medical Center. As of today, he’s been transferred to the Providence St. Vincent NICU for a higher level of support.

His parents, Haley and Joey, are by his side every step of the way. They are currently living out of the NICU, focused entirely on Leo’s healing and progress. During this critical time, they will be unable to work, yet daily expenses, bills, and travel costs between home and the hospital continue to add up.

This GoFundMe has been created for those who have kindly asked how they can help. Any contribution, no matter the size, will go directly toward helping Haley and Joey manage their expenses so they can remain present with their son during this crucial chapter.

More than anything, we ask for your prayers. Please keep Leo in your thoughts—for his strength, growth, and healing. Your support—both spiritual and financial—means the world to our family.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Rosie Ojala - Grandma
