Elli Marie was born on Wednesday, 4/22/26, by emergency C-section due to a rare condition that caused her diaphragm not to close. She is now admitted to All Children's Hospital, where a specialized team is working to give her the best possible care. Her parents, who are just starting out in life, were told that Elli could be in the hospital for a long time as she awaits surgery and ongoing treatment.

This fundraiser will help Elli's mom and dad stay by her side and cover the many unexpected costs that come with a long hospital stay—like food, clothing, and mounting medical bills. Elli's mother has already faced her own health challenges, being discharged after her C-section only to be readmitted for high blood pressure. The family is doing everything they can to support Elli, but they need help from their community now more than ever.

All prayers are desperately needed for this little family. If you can donate even a little bit, they would be enormously grateful. These two young people have always given to others, even when they couldn't afford to. Now, they need our support. Please consider helping Elli and her family during this difficult time.
