September 20, 2025, Dannie Bryce came into this world at 29 weeks and 1 day. Her scheduled delivery date via c-section was set for November 14, 2025. She was born weighing 3 lbs 4 oz and is currently at 4 lbs 6 oz.

We are at day 46 in the NICU, and resources are running low, and expenses have not stopped; they've actually increased. Add in a needed home repair—our hot water heater is out—and then a very expensive vehicle repair. One resource, mamaw taking care of siblings and the family's home, is now experiencing furloughs due to the government shutdown, so that is now limiting their ability to help.

There are 3 siblings at home that family is helping with, and helping with their daily expenses. Dad has a job he has to maintain. Mom is on medical leave from her job, but the driving back and forth to OKC to see the older siblings and spend sufficient time with the newborn is taking a huge toll on the family, and they need whatever help is available.

We hate to ask, actually never dreamed we would be at this spot, but here we are asking for some reprieve during this very difficult time.
