Hi my name is Jocelyn, I am reaching out to seek your support to help my dear friends Erin, her partner Brandon, and their beautiful new baby Blake. Baby Blake made a very early unexpected arrival at 29 weeks due to unknown complications during Erin's pregnancy. After a stressful week in the hospital Erin & Brandon welcomed their son by emergency c-section at Mount Sinai. On December 16th Blake was born, weighing 2 pounds 8 ounces. Mom and baby are doing well, but Blake will be facing a lengthy stay in the NICU until he is ready to be at home. I am hopeful that with your support we can help to alleviate the additional financial stress so that Erin & Brandon can focus on their family over the holidays. For the time being Erin & Brandon will be commuting daily between Orillia and Toronto to spend time with their baby boy. Funds will be used to support costs related to gas, hospital parking, meals, and may help offset lost income from missed work. Any support you can provide will be greatly appreciated. I am hopeful that together we can help them over the Christmas season.
