Help for baby Aiden

Donation protected
My niece gave birth to a sweet baby boy on Monday, October 21,  2019.  On Thursday, the 24th, the baby, Aiden, began  having seizures in the very early morning. He was brought by ambulance to CVPH where it was confirmed that there was seizure activity.  My niece and her baby were then transported to Fletcher Allen Healthcare, in Burlington, for further evaluation.  Aiden began having continuous seizures where he then had to be placed in the NICU. Further testing was done and the results were every parents worst fear, that there was something wrong with their baby.  Aiden was diagnosed with  MCD ( malformation of cortical development.) His right side of the brain is severely underdeveloped and will need brain surgery down the line when his brain is bigger and more developed.  His mother has been over there with Aiden while my sister and other family members have been supporting her the best way possible. She also has a 4 year old daughter that has to be cared for while being away.  The expected stay right now is approximately two weeks and even after discharge there will be several trips that need to be made over to Burlington for his continuous care through the neurologist.  No one deserves to have to go through this but it’s especially hard when it’s a family member. I’m reaching out to try to help my niece with the finances needed to just be able to provide the care that’s needed for her son. The traveling, ferry and food while be over there adds up very quick and I don’t want the stress of money to be an issue when the baby should be the only concern.  Any help is greatly appreciated ❤️
