Support for Baby Tristan Allen and His Family

Support for Baby Tristan and His Family

Hi everyone,

I’m reaching out with an update on behalf of Travon and Julie, who recently welcomed their beautiful baby boy, Tristan, early Sunday morning, weighing 7 lbs. 3 oz. Tristan is here and fighting, but he’s already facing serious health challenges. Shortly after birth, he needed a procedure to relieve an obstruction between his bladder and urethra, and he now has a catheter to help drain urine.

His creatinine levels are rising, which has doctors concerned about his kidney function. He’s scheduled for surgery on Monday to address one of the two obstructions from his urethra to his kidneys, but this will depend on whether his levels can stabilize. It’s likely he will need dialysis soon and eventually a kidney transplant, which means he’ll be in the hospital for at least a few months.

Julie is staying with Tristan in San Francisco, but she’s currently on a waitlist for family housing provided by the hospital, adding even more financial strain as she waits for a place to stay. Meanwhile, Travon is working in Fresno, caring for their other children, and taking time off whenever he can to support Julie and Tristan. With the holidays approaching, this has been especially hard on their family, as Julie will need to remain off work much longer than expected to be there for Tristan.

Please keep Tristan, Julie, Travon, and their children in your thoughts and prayers. This has been an incredibly challenging time for them, and any support—whether through donations or by sharing this update—is deeply appreciated. Your kindness and generosity mean the world to this family as they prepare for the difficult months ahead.

Dear friends and family,

We are reaching out on behalf of Travon and Julie Allen, who are facing an incredibly difficult time. At 35 weeks pregnant, Julie was just flown from Fresno to San Francisco because their baby, Tristan, is experiencing serious health complications. Tristan will have a long and challenging road ahead, requiring specialized care.

As you can imagine, this sudden emergency has created financial stress on top of an already emotional time. They are now far from home, staying in San Francisco while trying to cover everyday bills and expenses like gas, lodging, and food—all while missing work.

We are asking for your support to help ease their financial burden so they can focus on being with Tristan and supporting each other through this difficult time. Every contribution, big or small, will make a huge difference for them.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your generosity, prayers, and kindness.
