Hi friends and family,

I’m reaching out on behalf of my cousin Thadd and his partner Taylor, who recently welcomed their sweet baby girl, Miss Ida Louise Robley. On April 8, 2025 she came three months ahead of schedule! Though she’s teeny tiny, she’s also so very mighty. The first few months of her life will be spent growing stronger (and sassier) in the NICU. Thadd says she’s doing amazing and already has some strong opinions about diaper changes. Atta girl, Ida!

With Ida’s early arrival came a lot of unexpected expenses and time away from work. On top of that, they’ve outgrown their apartment and are doing their best to find a bigger, more affordable space to bring her home to.

Anyone who knows Thadd and Taylor knows they’re not ones to ask for help, but they could really use a hand right now. Even a kind word or thought means a lot. But if you’re in a place to give, anything helps and would go directly toward easing some of the pressure of getting settled into a new place.

Thanks for reading, and for keeping the Robley family in your thoughts, it means the world. As Great Granny Toni (and her dad) always said “the best things come in small packages with a red ribbon on top!”

With love,

Auntie (cousin) Shay
