Hi! My name is Molly and I am reaching out to my community on behalf of a local family in need. You might look at these photos and immediately recognize these individuals, and you would be correct. This family is a kind, loving, and God-fearing family who are the first people to help others in need. Kerrie is a 2nd grade teacher at Hosford School. (If you live around here, chances are she has taught your youngin' in some kind of capacity.) Trenton is a gentle giant that loves to fish and is a Hosford boy through and through. They are just your good ‘ole neighbors who watch your kids on Sunday in church nursery.

On August 5th, Trenton and Kerrie Fowler welcomed their first child into this world, a precious baby girl by the name of Bella Laine Fowler. Shortly after Bella Laine was born, she began to experience blood sugar issues requiring further monitoring in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Trenton and Kerrie were hoping for a short stay in NICU for sweet Bella. Unfortunately, the stay was longer than anticipated as she required additional medical interventions, including a feeding tube to assist with maintaining blood sugar. As the medical situation is ongoing, Bella Laine is stable right now, PRAISE GOD! However, now Trenton and Kerrie are experiencing a parent's worst fear, having to leave the hospital without their bundle of joy.

So here is the need.

Firstly, please keep this family in your thoughts and prayers. Send them some encouragement and love; they could really use it.

Secondly, if you are able to give anything in order to help ease the financial burden a situation like this could cause on a family, it would be greatly appreciated.

I take great pride in our tight-knit community and our ability to step up and assist when someone needs our help. When one hurts, we all hurt.
