My name is Emma VanWuyckhuyse and I am raising this fundraiser for my cousin Nicole, her husband Brian, and their daughter, Eden. Baby Eden was born 10 weeks early via emergency C-section on August 24th, 2026, weighing only 3lbs and 14oz. Although she has already showed us that she is thriving, Eden will need to stay in the NICU as she continues to grow stronger each day. While Nicole and Brian stay by Eden’s side as much as they can, they are also caring for their three other children at home. Living about 45 minutes from the hospital means the travel back and forth adds up quickly, and this season has brought many unexpected expenses, including gas, transportation costs, meals, and childcare for their older children.

This support will help ease some of the financial pressure on Nicole and Brian so they can visit Eden more often and focus on what matters most: their family. Brian works hard to provide for his family, and Nicole is a stay-at-home mom caring for their three kids while navigating this difficult time. Any help means more opportunities for them to be with Eden and less worry about the daily costs that come with a long hospital stay. Thank you for supporting baby Eden as she fights hard and continues to grow, surrounded by the best nurses and doctors and protected in God’s hands. Please consider giving if you can, and keeping Eden and the Lancaster family in your prayers.
