Dear friends, family, and prayer warriors,

We are reaching out with a heavy but hopeful heart to share that Zach and Josie’s precious little one, Sage Elisabeth, arrived early and is currently in the NICU in Des Moines, Iowa. While their hearts are filled with love for this new life, they are also navigating the overwhelming, unexpected, and immense financial strain of this journey.

They know that God is the ultimate healer, and are holding onto faith, believing He is in that NICU room with Sage. They are witnessing incredible strength in their baby, but the road ahead is long. Zach and Josie are two hours away from their home in Clear Lake. While Sage is healing in the NICU, Josie is dealing with some pregnancy and postpartum health issues that are requiring her to be seen by doctors in Des Moines often. This leads to even more bills and makes it harder for Zach to be able to return to work.

We are humbly asking for your help. Your support will go directly towards:

• Uncovered medical expenses and treatments.

• The high cost of travel to and from the hospital.

• Helping us stay by our baby's side during this critical time.

If you are unable to donate, we completely understand and ask that you please keep Sage in your prayers. We know that God hears our prayers, and we are grateful for your support and love.

Thank you!
