My little grandson, Colter, was born with congenital malrotation, a birth defect that required emergency surgery and has at least a 30-day recovery process. This has been an incredibly stressful and emotional time for our family, especially for Austin and Holley, who are now facing an extended hospital stay at St. Louis Children's Hospital.

These funds will go directly to help Austin and Holley cover medical bills and household expenses while Colter is recovering. With both parents unable to work right now, every bit of support will help ease their financial burden and allow them to focus on giving Colter the absolute best care possible during his time in the NICU.

Tracy and I are reaching out to our community of faith and friends, asking for your help in supporting our son and his wife through this difficult season. Baby Colter's emergency surgery was a success, but the road ahead is long. Any support you can offer means the world to us and will make a real difference for this young family as they navigate the challenges ahead.
