Hello. I am creating this fundraiser for my brother and his wife and family. They have five children Nate (14), Arabella (5), Elijah (4), Gabriella (1) and Ezra (3 months). On January 10 Gabriella began having trouble breathing. Brett (my brother) took her to the doctor to have her evaluated to see if something was wrong. Her oxygen was very low so the physician sent her to the ER. The ER sent her to Children’s where she was admitted. She has since been intubated due to her oxygen being so low. She has tested negative for COVID and all other viral panels. They have tried to remove the breathing tube several times, but every time they attempt to remove it Gabriella is not able to breathe on her own. They will be going into the OR Monday to find out what is causing her to not be able to breathe on her own. They suspect she may have a small hole in her trachea but they are unsure at this point. I am asking for donations for them to help cover costs for gas, food , bills,

and medical bills they may have. They do have insurance but insurance doesn’t cover everything and they’re just unsure at this point how much that will be. Christina my sister-in-law is a stay at home mom and Brett has a job but has not been able to work due to Gabriella’s illness.

Brett and Christina are asking for prayers for their family and their care providers at Children’s hospital. We are hopeful that they will find out her diagnosis and began treatment to help their babygirl get better!
