Support Bentley & Richelle's journey

Hello, this is Bentley Zander Smith, my nephew.

He was born on June 9th, 2025. Since he was born, he's been fighting to breathe. He's now on life support due to his incapability to breathe on his own. Currently, my sister (Bentley's mom) is on unpaid maternity leave and is needing the help financially more than ever right now as she is sitting at Children's Mercy. She also has another child at home who she has to travel back and forth for as well, so she needs money for that. I'm just trying to help her in any way that I can, and I know this would take a load off her back and hopefully help provide some stability and support in the meantime until the doctors at Children's Mercy can get him breathing.

He is pulmonary hypertensive. He is requiring 75% oxygen on the new ventilator they have him on, which is better then the 100% He was requiring but still not great. If he doesn't get better he will be on bypass which is the most extensive life support. He's not getting any better unfortunately.
