Hello - I am setting up this fundraiser for my daughter, Drew Zipperian, her fiancé, Levi Vossler, and their precious new little boy, Clyde Steven. As most of us who are parents are aware, not everything goes as planned when it comes to bringing a new little one into the world. This has been quite the rollercoaster for them and is going to cause a financial burden for them as they go through this ordeal with medical expenses, travel, food, and Levi has limited PTO and we do not want him to worry about that and stay with his new little family.

If you are able to assist in anyway, whether it be monetary, positive vibes and a prayer, this would mean so much to them and lessen their anxiety as they go through this journey.

I'd like to share some details as these were written by Drew and approved for me to share: Our perfect baby boy joined us June 13th at 3:41 am. 7 lbs 15 oz and 21 inches long. While we are so thankful he is here and safe, we have been challenged in more ways than we could have imagined. We started this journey Tuesday June 10th. After being ruptured for 20 hours on Thursday, an emergency c-section was chosen as the safest route for mom and Clyde early Friday morning. Once he arrived, he was given to mom for maybe 30 minutes, before being admitted to the NICU for breathing issues. Talk about being robbed of your time with your brand new baby and how much it effects you On Saturday, Clyde was not showing much improvement, so Levi and I decided it was in Clyde’s best interest to get on a helicopter to Missoula. Levi left and met Clyde the minute he landed. I was discharged Sunday from Helena and joined them that afternoon. Our baby boy was intubated Sunday, and extubated Monday afternoon. Since then, he has done AMAZING. He is improving everyday. He is so strong and such a fighter, and loves giving the nurses a little fight here and there but this is not a quick process and we will be here for awhile.

I have since been admitted to the hospital here in Missoula for preeclampsia, yesterday June 17. No one talks about the scary stuff during pregnancy, but this has been the most terrifying journey Levi and I have been on, and I wanted to share in case anyone else may end up on a similar journey. If I could share every detail of this journey, we’d be here for hours.

Levi has been an absolute rock for me and has not left my side or Clyde’s. He is the strongest man I know, and I’m forever thankful he’s mine. He is the best dad to his little boy. It’s been a long, challenging road, but we cannot wait to leave as a family and take our perfect little man home
