Hello, this is our son Leeland Jay Wensel. He's a tough little guy. He's spent most of his short life in the hospital. My wife, Becky, was thirty-five weeks along when Leeland was delivered on July 28, 2014 by c-section at Armstrong Memorial Hospital. He was life flighted almost immediately to Children's leaving his mom behind. Since then he has been in and out of the hospital(mostly in), with the excellent doctors and nurses working hard (with God's supervision) day and night, keeping him alive, doing everything they can to make him better

He has undergone several surgeries, including open heart surgery on October 15,2014, and most recently spinal cord surgery. There are at least two more surgeries in his future, with a reconstructive bowel surgery being one of them to remove the colostomy bag he's had since birth.

Long story short, my wife, daughter Kaylee, myself and especially Leeland desperately need your help. Since I lost my job, I have been searching for another and the hospital and house bills have been adding up. We are doing everything we can to stay afloat. It has been hard on all of us, dividing our time between the hospital and home with the job search.

Asking for help, relying on the kindness and support from total strangers is not easy for us, but the time has come to swallow my pride and hope that you can find it in your heart to help us.
