Support Baby Grant's NICU Journey

Help Support Baby Grant Bidle and His Family - Born at 28 Weeks

Dear friends, family, and kind-hearted supporters,

My name is Ashley Fritz, and I am reaching out to ask for your help in supporting my sister-in-law, Jackie Bidle, and my brother-in-law, Brett Bidle, as they navigate the unexpected challenges of having their precious son, Grant, born prematurely. Grant was born on March 2nd, 3 months earlier than expected, at just 28 weeks' gestation. He was due at the end of May, but instead, he came early, and now his parents are facing a long journey in the NICU at Children's National Hospital in Washington D.C.

As you can imagine, having a baby born so early is an emotional rollercoaster. Brett and Jackie are doing everything they can to be by Grant’s side as he fights and grows stronger every day. However, this comes with significant financial strain. They are commuting back and forth to the hospital every day, incurring travel, food, and lodging expenses, all while waiting for a spot to open up at the Ronald McDonald House.

During this incredibly difficult time, I’m asking for your help to ease some of their financial burden. Your donations will go directly to helping Brett and Jackie cover:

• Gas and transportation costs for the long trips to and from the hospital.

• Meals for Brett and Jackie as they spend long hours away from home.

• Lodging costs until a room becomes available at the Ronald McDonald House.

• Other unexpected medical or travel expenses as they stay close to Grant while he continues his journey in the NICU.

Any contribution, big or small, will make a huge difference in helping them stay by Grant’s side during this critical time. Your support will allow Brett and Jackie to focus on what matters most—being there for their sweet baby boy as he fights to grow stronger every day.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your generosity, prayers, and support. It truly means the world to our family.

With love and gratitude,

Ashley Fritz
