Hello, I'm starting this GoFundMe to help good friends of mine, they are facing every parent's worst nightmare. Both of their little girls are battling a severe infection. Emily is at Children's Hospital in Los Angeles receiving specialized care, while her sister Camila remains in Santa Barbara under close monitoring at another hospital.

Mom is staying by Camila’s side in Santa Barbara, and Dad is with Emily in Los Angeles — separated and doing their best to comfort their girls while being apart from each other and from their other children at home. It's been heartbreaking and exhausting for them both, emotionally and physically, as they navigate constant updates, long hospital days, and the uncertainty of recovery.

With both parents unable to work, the financial burden has grown quickly. This fundraiser will help cover essentials like gas, food, missed income, and other unexpected expenses — allowing Miriam and Izzy to focus fully on what matters most: helping their daughters heal.

They're deeply grateful for every message, prayer, and bit of support during this unimaginable time. Please keep this family in your thoughts and prayers, and thank you for any help you can give.
