Hi, I am Alivia, the mother to the sweet baby in the picture. The sweet baby in the picture is RaeLee. She was born at 32w4d and she is spending a lot of time in the NICU (Neonatal ICU). She was severely premature. I had Placenta Abruption and had a massive 5 and a half hour Cesarean with some complications during the surgery. I have been staying at the NICU with her as I struggle going home; being away from her is not it.

RaeLee has been fighting for her life since day one. She was on a CPAP machine and she was only breathing 22% on her own. She is now on a nasal cannula on 2 liters of oxygen at 28%. She has aspirational pneumonia and is still fighting. She fights every single day. All these tests and treatments are stressful.

I am struggling mentally and financially to feed myself and to have gas to go to and from the hospital. If anyone could maybe help with it or even pass it along, I would be grateful. This is the last thing I want to do, reaching out for help, but it is all I have right now.

I appreciate all of you, and keep praying for my little girly.
