Being a mom to a child that faces medical trials can be overwhelming but it’s also beyond uplifting in ways I never expected. Each day brings moments that feel like miracles, like when he eats a new food, learned a new skill, or says a simple word. Witnessing his courage sparks a powerful connection, and with every challenge we tackle together, our bond grows stronger and my heart grows BIGGER! I have a constant reminder that love and hope can shine through even in the darkest moments.

After 5 long days in the hospital, meeting my son at 30 weeks, weighing only 2.15 pounds, was a moment I will NEVER forget. I couldn’t hold him until the following morning, but the instant I saw his tiny face, I felt pure relief and overwhelming love. All I could think was “We made it, he’s here, and he’s going to be okay”. That memory remains etched in my heart, a testament of hope, resilience and the incredible strength of my little boy. Still the strongest person I know. He is my hero.

Since my son’s premature birth, we’ve been buried in medical expenses, using every spare dollar to ensure he gets the care he needs. A $20,000 boost would clear a lot of our debt, help us catch up on essential bills and finally give us the chance to rebuild. It’s the lifeline we need to move forward and provide a stable future for our family. One where we can focus on raising our little boy instead of worrying about debt.
