Support Renleigh's Fight for a Healthy Future

On January 4, 2025, Amity and Victor welcomed their precious baby girl, Renleigh, into the world. This should have been a time of joy, but their hearts are heavy as they navigate the challenges posed by Renleigh's serious health issues. Since birth, she has been diagnosed with Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) and congenital heart failure, two unrelated illnesses that have greatly affected her well-being.

 

Since her birth, the family has been met with only frightening diagnoses and multiple lengthy hospital stays. Despite their frequent visits to doctors and specialists within the St. Luke’s network, they have yet to be provided with treatment options or a clear prognosis. They have made persistent requests for answers after undergoing numerous diagnostic procedures, specialist interventions, and several stays in the NICU, yet they have faced a lack of cooperation and non coordination of care. Most frustratingly, their requests for a referral to the children's hospital in Utah have been denied, leaving them feeling helpless in their search for answers.

 

Because the doctors refuse to refer Renleigh to Utah, the insurance covering her is relieved of its obligations to make payments for care outside of the Idaho providers. This means that any necessary expenses for Renleigh to be seen by specialists who can offer the help she needs will have to be paid out-of-pocket by Amity and Victor. This financial burden adds to the stress they are already experiencing as they strive to give their daughter the best chance at health.

Financially, the family is facing significant challenges. With no referral in place, the costs associated with traveling to Utah for specialized care will fall entirely on Amity and Victor, who have been unable to work due to the extensive time required for hospital visits and appointments.

 

Amity and Victor are also the loving parents of a healthy 2-year-old who needs their attention and support during this trying time. They are committed to ensuring both children receive the care and love they deserve.

 

We are reaching out to our community for help. Our goal is to raise funds that will alleviate some of the financial burdens the family faces, allowing them to focus on the most important thing: caring for Renleigh and getting her the specialized medical attention she urgently needs.

 

Your support, no matter the amount, will make a meaningful impact on their lives. Thank you for considering helping Amity, Victor, and baby Renleigh as they embark on this challenging journey together. Together, we can help them navigate these difficulties and work towards a brighter future for their family.
