Support Jensen's Journey Home From NICU

Amber Cunningham is organizing this fundraiser on behalf of Travis Smiecinski.

Donation protected

So many of us are struggling, and working too hard to barely scrape by. And here I am asking for donations. I have to try everything I can, before tomorrow comes. I would like to thank everyone that has made donations. Your donations are collecting together going towards the move-in costs of the new place. I am beyond grateful for your charity, I don't know what I would do without it.

Jensen is being discharged this afternoon, first 6 weeks of his life in the NICU. My health insurance has put me in a hotel out here, with Jensen discharged now this is the last night at the hotel. I have been approved for an apartment, but that's not until the 24th. Which is giving me time to come up with the rest of the money needed, but leaves me with nowhere to stay in the meantime.

Sleeping in the hotel parking lot isn't going to work with no car and Jensen's feeding tube and oxygen. All donations will go towards the security deposit at the new apartment, or hotel stay between 4/16-4-28.

Words fail to convey how overwhelming and incomprehensible an experience becomes when it is simultaneously terrifying and amazing, despairing, yet blissful. Time seemed to stop as it moved to fast to catch. The one consistent through it all was the strength that came from the compassion and sensitivity of others
