Jared and Kayla recently faced a challenging journey when Kayla had to be flown out of state, where she gave birth to their third child, a baby boy, at just 31 weeks. While they knew their son would be born with a heart complication, the severity was not clear until his arrival. Baby Jensen was born with a complicated heart defect, and while he is currently stable, doctors are closely monitoring his oxygen levels and waiting for him to grow strong enough for heart surgery. Kayla must now stay near the hospital for at least the next 6-8 weeks, living at the Ronald McDonald House, while Jared travels back and forth to care for their other two young children, ages 1 and 4.

The family is facing mounting medical bills, travel expenses, and the uncertainty of how long Kayla will need to remain away from home. Despite these challenges, Jared and Kayla are doing their best to take things one day at a time, focusing on their son's health and the needs of their family. They are the kind of people who rarely ask for help, but the support of friends and community can make a real difference as they navigate this difficult journey.

Your contribution will help cover medical costs, travel between states, and living expenses while baby Jensen grows strong enough for surgery. Any support will allow Jared and Kayla to focus on their family and their son's recovery, knowing they are not alone.
