Support Sean Isaiah O'Connor's NICU Journey

Tiny but Mighty: Sean's Early Arrival

Hello world! I'm Sean Isaiah O'Connor, and I decided to make my grand debut a little early – at just 27 weeks! Weighing in at a petite 2.7 lbs and measuring a mere 14.5 inches, I'm a preemie warrior currently hanging out in the Essentia Health NICU, getting ready for my real debut.

It's pretty bright and beepy in here, but the nurses and doctors are super nice and take good care of me. I'm working hard on breathing, eating, and growing – all the important stuff! I'm told I'm a fighter, just like my mom and dad.

My early arrival means my family is facing some unexpected expenses. My NICU stay, special medicine, and 24/7 care add up faster than I can drink my tiny bottle of milk.

My parents (Christian and Alani O'Connor) want to be by my side as much as possible, but they also need to work to keep everything afloat.

That’s where you amazing people come in! Any amount you can donate, big or small, would be a huge help to my family and me. The money will go towards my NICU expenses, any medical equipment I'll need at home, and will allow my parents to spend precious time with me while I grow stronger.

Even if you can't donate, sending thoughts and prayers and sharing my story would be incredible! I can feel all the love, prayers and support, and it gives me extra strength to keep fighting.

I'll keep you updated on my progress as I level up my health and get ready to take on the world! Thank you for being a part of my journey.

Lots of love (and teeny tiny baby snuggles!),

Sean Isaiah O'Connor

Mommy and Daddy say, we are so grateful for any support you can offer. Thank you for being a part of Sean's journey!
