<div>HUGE UPDATE!! BABY GADIEL IS HOME!!
</div>
<div>After a long and uncertain journey in the NICU, Gadiel is finally home with his family. This was an unexpected discharge, and while everyone is overjoyed to have him out of the hospital, the transition has brought new challenges.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Gadiel continues to face significant medical complications that require specialized care and frequent travel to receive treatment. His parents had held off on purchases while focusing on survival in the NICU, so there are many immediate needs now that he is home. He also will not be eligible for childcare for quite some time, which means Elide and Leo must provide round-the-clock care while also raising their two older children.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every gift helps cover medical travel, specialized care, household and baby expenses, and supplement lost income—giving this family space to heal and adjust.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>✨ If you’ve already donated, thank you—your support has carried them this far. Please consider sharing again to help spread the word. If you’d like to send a “congratulations” gift for Gadiel’s homecoming, your donation will make a direct and immediate impact.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This family has shown incredible resilience and gratitude through every step of this journey. Let’s continue to surround them with the love, care, and solidarity they have so generously given to others.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Update: Baby Gadiel is just over a month old now. He weighs 1 lb 10 oz, and while there have been some hopeful days, there have also been some very scary ones. Tomorrow, he’ll receive his 6th blood transfusion, with more tests and procedures coming up this week.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This family continues to face so many emotional and financial challenges. Their support system remains limited—Leo’s mother, who lives in Mexico, was recently denied her request to come be with them during this incredibly difficult time.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>It’s been a month, and while it’s easy for the rest of the world to move forward, this family is still in the thick of it—caring for a medically fragile baby, running a small business, and raising two other young children.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Please don’t forget them. If you haven’t donated yet, now is the time. If you’ve already shared, please share again. Every dollar, every repost, every gesture of support matters.

<div>Hi, my name is Maegan Brown, and I’m the co-owner of a group mental health practice called Your Next Chapter Counseling. I’m raising funds for my dear friend and coworker, Elide, and her family—her husband Leo, their three children, and especially their newborn son, Gadiel.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Elide is a bilingual social worker who has dedicated her life to healing others. As a Spanish-speaking therapist from a migrant family, her impact on our community is immeasurable—especially now, in a time when Spanish-speaking individuals continue to face systemic barriers, discrimination, and exclusion. Elide has shown up for those most often overlooked, holding space for healing, dignity, and cultural connection.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In addition to her clinical work, Elide has helped build and run her family’s landscaping business, often stepping in as the English-speaking point of contact with clients while working alongside her husband in the field. She has carried so much—professionally, emotionally, and physically—while also raising their children with love and resilience.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>On May 27th, Elide gave birth to their youngest child, Gadiel, at just 25 weeks gestation. He is currently in the NICU, fighting for his life, and undergoing ongoing tests, scans, and intensive interventions. Just four days after major abdominal surgery, Elide was already back behind the wheel—driving to be by his side while still parenting their two other young children.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This heartbreaking situation is further complicated by immigration delays. Leo’s mother, who lives in Mexico, had already been approved for her green card under a previous administration. But under the current administration, her paperwork—and their hope for her much-needed presence—has been indefinitely stalled. As a result, this family is navigating one of the most painful and vulnerable moments of their lives without the extended support they desperately need.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Elide has expressed concern about returning to work before she’s ready—both physically and emotionally—because they simply need the income. And with their landscaping business struggling without her daily involvement, the pressure is only growing.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are raising funds to help cover living expenses, lost income, and medical costs so this family can catch their breath and focus on what matters most: each other. This is a family that consistently shows up for others, even in hard times. Now it’s our turn to show up for them—with love, generosity, and solidarity.
</div>
