I'm a close friend of the Hawkins family and starting a fundraiser on their behalf. Jodie and Ian are facing an unimaginable and heart-shattering situation with their newborn son, Quinn.

The family recently announced the birth of sweet Quinn, but just days after they brought him home, he became critically ill. What began as concerns no parent would ever expect turned into a medical emergency. Jodie and Ian's quick decision to rush him to the ER in the middle of the night saved precious time in a life-threatening situation where every second mattered. Quinn developed a severe infection that spread rapidly, causing widespread complications, including injury to his brain. He has required intensive care and the highest levels of medical support in the NICU. Each day brings new uncertainties and a clear prognosis is still unknown. Jodie and Ian are doing everything in their power to support Quinn as they also care for their older child, Cameron. This crisis has placed an enormous strain on their family.

This fundraiser will help some of the burdens so they can focus entirely on Quinn. Contributions will go toward:

Jodie and Ian are exhausted, heartbroken, and doing everything they can to stay strong. The hope is that this fundraiser can provide even a small amount of relief during the darkest and most uncertain time of their lives.

If you’re able to contribute, share, or simply keep the family in your thoughts, it would mean a lot to them. Thank you for surrounding the family with love and support.
