Would you please help our friends, the Robarts?

Their baby boy was born Dec 8, 2020 via an emergency c section because of a cord prolapse and was rushed to another hospital in the NICU with a lot of unknown challenges ahead.

Their little boy fought in the NICU through Christmas and the New Year as their parents drove every day to see him and surround him with love and strength. 

It is with a heavy heart that I share 
Baby boy Kashmere Cruz passed away on Jan 11, 2021
He was a little over one month old. 
He was surrounded by his parents and 4 siblings with so much love at their home in Las Vegas. 

His wings were ready but their hearts were not. 

Please keep this family in your prayers and share this post along with the hashtag #robartstrong. 

Any and all donations, no matter how big or small will be greatly appreciated as the hospital, NICU, ambulance and doctor bills pile up around them.
All while they are left with broken hearts and grieving their little baby boy and the missed memories their family would’ve shared together.

Thank you and God Bless. 

Here is the story as told by his mother, Rachael Robart,  


As I sit here writing this out trying to hold back tears and fear, I want to start by saying
THANK YOU to every single one of you who is praying for my family right now. It is all of your prayers and messages that are keeping our faith alive!

Our home birth was going just as planned until my water broke, in that moment the umbilical cord Pro Relapsed , which - if you look it up - it’s only 1 percent out of every 300 births and we just happened to be the THE ONE percent

When my water burst their was so much pressure that it pushed the umbilical cord down passed baby. The cord was trying to come out before the baby was. My midwife immediately noticed the cord and in that moment with what was supposed to be my 4th all natural home water birth quickly turned into an emergency C section. Ambulance arrived immediately, while my midwife
( whom is an absolute HERO) literally kept her hand inside my vagina the entire ride , holding the cord off the baby while we were both lifted onto a stretcher and rushed to the hospital.

From there I don’t remember anything as I was put under.

When I woke our little man was being transferred in a helicopter to another hospital for special Nicu care. Birth weight was 8.3 Lbs born at 5:26 pm 12/8. I was not able to see him and still have not seen him , which is killing me inside. But so thankful my husband has been able to spend time with him.

It’s all hitting me this morning & I can’t stop crying. I woke in the hospital bed at 3am feeling like I had to nurse him. and broke into full blown tears. My husband immediately woke and was quick to console me.

Nathan Is being super dad right now , lots of tears but holding it all together for us. He has been staying with me at night, then going back to the house for kids then to the other hospital to spend time with baby.

They have me pumping milk all day here for when baby is ready , but I’m not producing much so please pray for that too. Once I’m able to walk I can go see him. They are saying he may have to stay for weeks on end as they continue to run tests on him and watch for seizures and brain function due to loss of oxygen from the cord.

I've never been in so much pain in my life both mentally and physically . I literally feel helpless as I heal here at the other hospital wondering if my baby is ok.
I’ve been recording my voice so Nathan can play It for our little man to give me peace. My kiddos back at home are dying to meet their brother and are in very good spirits.

We love you all so much and are so very appreciative for everyone who has stepped up to help and pray for our family during this time.

We have no idea what our future holds or how much this is all going to cost us or how we are going to make it all work, but I strongly believe that God gives his toughest battles to his strongest warriors.......

AND WE ARE PREPARING FOR BATTLE!
