Hi friends,

(TLDR- too long didn’t read version) Thank you for helping support Kylie, James, and Baby Brynlee—a family who fought so hard to be parents and deserves the chance to rest, recover, and begin this chapter without the crushing weight of financial fear.

I’m starting this fundraiser for one of my dearest friends—someone I’ve loved since high school—Kylie, and her husband, James, who have been through more than their fair share to become parents.

After four long years of infertility, Kylie finally received the miracle she’d been hoping for: pregnancy. Unfortunately, that joy was quickly overshadowed by serious complications. At 32 weeks, she developed preeclampsia and has been hospitalized ever since to protect both her and her baby girl, Brynlee.

Kylie is now facing early induction at 34 weeks, which likely means NICU time for Brynlee. While Kylie and James are focused on keeping mom healthy and bringing Brynlee safely into the world, they’re also dealing with the overwhelming reality of being out of work with no pay, with no clear timeline for when Kylie will be able to return.

Between lost wages, medical expenses, and the emotional toll of an extended hospital stay and potential NICU journey, the financial stress has become heavy—at a time when it should be the last thing on their minds.

This fundraiser is meant to give them breathing room—to help cover living expenses, bills, and the additional costs that come with a premature birth, so they can focus on healing, supporting one another, and caring for Brynlee.

Any amount—big or small—means more than words can say. If you’re unable to donate, sharing this page is just as appreciated.
