Rooting for Rowan

Hello everyone- this fundraiser is on behalf of our dear friends the Seitz family. As many of you may or may not know, it has always been Erin and Devon’s dream to be parents. After a long road and many detours, their prayers were finally answered. Rowan Joseph Seitz came to complete his family on May 1, 2023. While overjoyed with the arrival of their son, unfortunately there were still many hurdles to overcome. On June 16, Rowan was diagnosed with Biliary Atresia. Biliary Atresia is a rare liver disease with no cure. In order to give their son the best care possible, they have travelled to the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia which is over two hours from their home.

Erin is currently on non paid maternity leave spending every single minute with Rowan. This leaves Devon in an impossible position of holding down the fort at home, as well as tending to their beloved dog, Shiloh, while shuttling back and forth to the hospital. They have exhausted their resources, are far from home, and they need our help. The astronomical cost of healthcare, bills, hotels, food and transportation adds up, as we all know. On top of this- when Rowan is discharged he will need additional prescriptions, medical equipment and care to help him continue to grow and improve.

Luckily, Rowan is surrounded with love, and continuing to show progress each day- proving to be the fighter that his parents know he is. Erin and Devon are blessed to have such supportive family and friends to walk with them through this challenging time.

The night is dark, but with our help, I hope that we can bring some light to our friends. Erin and Devon are two of the kindest, big hearted people that I know. Please join me in supporting our friends to help relieve some of this financial strain. Any donation large or small would be appreciated. For those who would feel more comfortable donating directly to the family, Erin’s Venmo is @Erin-Potter-2.

Please continue to keep Rowan, Erin, and Devon and their family in your prayers as they prepare to navigate the next steps.
