I have created this Go Fund me for Coach Kevin Nash and his family. He and his wife welcomed their beautiful twins in October, at only 24 weeks, weighing less than 5 pounds. Although it is not uncommon for twins to be born early, these two are considered extremely preterm or micro-preemie.

I met Coach Nash when my son joined the high school basketball team and his wife through my church family. We prayed over her pregnancy as she faced challenges and premature labor. When I heard she and the babies all survived the labor, I knew God answered our prayers for a miracle! However, I also understood they would be facing a tough road ahead with two newborns in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU).

The average cost per day for a micro-preemie in the NICU is $7000-$9000 a day and length of stay is dependent on their progress. That's an average for one, so multiple that by two! Micro-preemies also deal with underdevelopment at birth that can result in extended stays and long-term health complications. The Nash twins are no different and even though the family has health insurance, the out-of-pocket costs can still be significant.

Having a newborn in the NICU can be overwhelming both emotionally and financially. Parents face a daily emotional roller coaster with an ending that is unknown. We can't really help them with that (except through prayer), but we can help relieve some of the financial stress they are facing.

I know we are all facing financial burdens right now, so I am first asking that you please keep the Nash family in prayer. I truly believe there is power in prayer! Secondly, if you’re in a position to give, even a small amount helps! Finally, please feel free to share this with anyone you think might also be willing to pray and/or help the Nash family. Your support in any form is greatly appreciated!
