Hi, I'm making this in hopes to help my sister and her family who are struggling emotionally and financially at this time. For those who don't know Baby Teagan, was born July 10th with a cleft palate, which has caused problems with breathing and limited ability to eat. Since she was born she's spent most of her life in the hospital. She was sent home only to have to go back because she wasn't gaining weight, after a misdiagnosis. She didn't have enough power to suck and was burning off the little amount she could eat because of how much effort it took to suck. She was admitted again, and fed through a feeding tube, when she gained some weight she had surgery to insert a "PEG" tube. A week after surgery she was sent home. Three days later her fever spiked and her soft spot swelled. She was immediately transferred to Sick kids under "life or Limb" as life threatening. She has been admitted again, with COVID which doctors believed triggered dormant symptoms from HSV in her brain. She now has a spinal leak that may need surgery to patch from a spinal tap that had to be done twice. She is one hell of a fighter with her family supporting her. However she has spent majority of her life in the hospital since July 10th, limiting mom's ability to work and shortening dad's days at work. They are struggling both financially and mentally. Her siblings also affected by the strain of it all. Our family has pulled together to help over the last 4 months but it's not enough. With bills and necessities starting to pile up, this is a last ditch effort to help them. Christmas is around the corner and yet it doesn't feel like anything short of a nightmare for them. It's not cheerful, with Tasha having to be with Teagan with rotating with dad, her siblings River, Gunnar and Paislee find themselves missing one parent at any time. They live .5 of a KM to close for Ronald McDonald House which has them driving everyday to see her from Aylmer. I'm hoping to lift some of the stress. Anything helps at all nothing's too small. If I had thousands to give I would, I'd do anything to help I can see how strong my sister and her husband are but I also can see how much she's breaking. It's hard enough to see your child sick, it's harder when you have other children asking where mom is, and the confusion on why Christmas isn't so Christmasy this year.

We love them so much if you could help show some support to a family that needs it, a family that every other year has gone out and purchased presents for families in need, that helps all year round to families that are struggling, this time it's their family struggling alot and I hope we can rally for them. After almost loosing Tasha (her mama) this year while pregnant with Teagan from a doctor's neglect and severe pneumonia this year has been a nightmare that should have been filled with joy. I want to give them hope.
