Matt and Sam’s world turned upside down just a week ago when their daughter suddenly became ill. What started as a suspected case of strep throat quickly escalated, despite their best efforts with primary care, urgent care and ER visits for fluids and care. Last night, their worst fears came true when their little girl suffered a seizure and became unresponsive. She is now at the children’s hospital, sedated and intubated, as doctors work tirelessly to help her recover.

This has been an incredibly difficult and frightening time for Matt and Sam. They are by their daughter’s side every moment, facing uncertainty and unimaginable stress. The costs of travel to the hospital, urgent needs, and lost income from being unable to work due to their situation are adding up quickly, making an already overwhelming situation even harder.

Matt and Sam never ask for help, but are humbled by anything you can do to support their family right now. Your kindness—whether through a donation or by sharing this fundraiser—will help ease their burden and allow them to focus on what matters most: their daughter’s recovery. Thank you for keeping them in your thoughts and for any support you can offer.
