Support Isabella, Zach, and Baby Jack's NICU Journey
Donation protected
Hi everyone,
My name is Michelle, and I am Isabella's mother. I'm reaching out to ask for your support for my daughter Isabella, her husband Zach, and their miracle baby, Jack.
Baby Jack decided to make his grand entrance into the world 12 weeks early and is currently fighting bravely in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) in Nashville. This unexpected journey has been challenging for the entire family.
On May 10, 2025, Isabella and Zach celebrated their love and commitment by getting married, but just days later, their world changed. Isabella's water broke unexpectedly while Zach was on his way to report to his new job in New Mexico, leaving Isabella in Kentucky while he searched for their new home. When the local hospital in Kentucky couldn't provide the specialized care Jack would need when born, they transported Isabella to Nashville.
Despite the sudden circumstances, Zach immediately turned around and made it to Nashville to be by Isabella's side. Thankfully, the hospital was able to delay Jack's birth for 11 days, but that was all this precious baby boy would give us. Jack was born 12 weeks premature on May 28th.
Isabella was released from the hospital earlier today, without successfully getting into one of the local hospitality centers to keep her near baby Jack. Ronald McDonald House is waiting on a background check. Her insurance has delayed the approval of a breast pump. So, Isabella and Zach are currently on their way to Wal-Mart so they can purchase a pump, some bottles, and storage bags for her breast milk. Then they will be heading back to Kentucky due to lack of funds to pay for housing to be near their sweet baby boy. On top of all of this, Zach has been informed he must report to work on June 16th, leaving Isabella in Kentucky and baby Jack in Nashville. Unless they get approval for one of the local hospitality centers, then Isabella will stay there to be close to baby Jack while he continues his stay in the NICU in Nashville.
Your generous contribution will help provide:
Travel Expenses for Zach: To ensure he can visit Nashville and be with Isabella and Jack as often as possible.
Lodging for Isabella: So she can remain close to baby Jack during his NICU stay.
Food and Daily Essentials: To help Isabella manage her day-to-day needs while focusing on baby Jack's care.
Medical Bills: To ease the financial burden of Jack's NICU stay and specialized care.
Why your help matters:
As a mother and a grandmother, it's heartbreaking to see my family go through this. Isabella and Zach are incredibly strong, but they need additional help to cover these overwhelming expenses. Your support will allow them to focus on baby Jack's health and being together during this critical time.
Call to action:
Please consider donating and sharing this campaign with your networks. No amount is too small, and every contribution will bring hope and relief to Isabella, Zach, and baby Jack. Together we can help this beautiful family through this tough chapter and onto brighter days ahead.
Our goal is $12,500-$20,000
