Lillian is a beautiful and bubbly 13-month-old baby girl. On Friday, December 6th, her heart stopped unexpectedly, and she went without oxygen for approximately 40 minutes. She is now on life support with very minimal brain activity. Her mother, Brianna Thornburg, my daughter, has not left her side, and her father, Ian Milligan, is doing everything he can to support his little girl. They are a young family and also have a 4-year-old non-verbal autistic son who is missing his mommy and daddy while they are at the hospital with his baby sister. Ian is taking time from work to spend as many moments with his daughter as he can, which has temporarily taken away their income. The future is very uncertain for Little Lilly, although we know it is in God's Hands.

Extra funds will come in handy over the next month or so, to cover any medical and personal expenses relating to this unimaginable tragedy this incredibly strong family must endure. The support from friends, family, and the community will help ease the burden and allow Brianna and Ian to focus on being with their children during this heartbreaking time.

Anything you are able to offer would be sincerely appreciated. Your kindness and generosity mean the world to us as we navigate this difficult journey. Thank you for keeping Lillian and her family in your thoughts and prayers.
