The Joyce (Littleton) family needs our help

Donation protected
UPDATE: As many of you know, Zane has lost his battle. He was a fighter and he was absolutely beautiful. Perfect in every way. Him, Emma and Brooklyn are now watching over our families until we are reunited in a future life. The Joyces still need our help, the tremendous amount of medical bills and the cost for transportation and cremation will take a heavy toll on them. We would like to continue to try and ease the burden. Thank you for your donations and all of the love and support you have given them, and the rest of our family. You will never truly know how much the help of everyone has touched them so much. They are blessed to have such great people in thier lives! Thank you everyone, again. Original: Our family has started a go fund me for Kelsey and David, to help alleviate some of the costs of travel, hotels and bills while Zane is in Seattle. Zane is a Micro Preemie, born at 25 weeks on 4/8/19, weighing in at 1lb 1oz. He was born to David and Kelsey Joyce of Port Orchard. Zane is currently in the NICU at the University of Washington medical center. He is being treated for many medical conditions common in preemies. He is a fighter, but needs our prayers. He has a long road ahead.  David is traveling between home, work and the hospital to make sure Andre, his teenage son,  is taken care of as well and bills are paid. Zane's stay will require many months and David does not have enough leave time to cover it all. The fragile state that Zane is in will have Kelsey by his side most day and night. This next week they will be in a hotel near the hospital provided by an anonymous donor that donated to the UW NICU (how amazing is that?). After that they will have to use their savings to keep Kelsey in Seattle.  It was thought that Kelsey and David would be able to stay in the room with Zane but currently with all of the medical equipment he is required, there is standing room only.  Kelsey has always wanted to be a mother to a child of her own. Her first daughter Emma was born at 28 weeks and passed away 3 weeks later due to an infection in her intestines. During that time, Kelsey had no choice but to go home and commute back and forth going days on end without being able to get to the hospital due to a winter storm. Her second daughter Brooklyn passed away in utero at 19 weeks. This go fund me is so important because we don't want her to lose even one minute with Zane.  No donation amount is to small. We appreciate any help they can be given. We will continue to update this page with news on Zane, the needs of the Joyce family, and any information we are able to share.  Thank you to everyone for taking the time to read and share Zane's story.
