Help Baby Andrew Overcome Alobar Holoprosencephaly

Help Support Baby Andrew in His Fight Against Alobar Holoprosencephaly (HPE)

On November 21, 2024, Ashley and Joshua Wheelan welcomed their precious baby boy into the world. While their hearts overflowed with love and joy, their lives quickly took a challenging turn. Their newborn son has been diagnosed with alobar holoprosencephaly, a rare and severe brain malformation that affects his brain’s ability to divide into two hemispheres. As a result, he faces significant medical hurdles, and right now, he is in the NICU receiving round-the-clock care.

This diagnosis has shaken the Wheelan family, but they remain hopeful and determined to provide their son with all the love and care he needs. However, the road ahead is uncertain, and it will be long, with numerous medical appointments, therapies, and potential surgeries. As parents to four other children, Ashley and Joshua are doing their best to balance the needs of their newborn with the demands of their growing family.

How You Can Help:

We are reaching out to you, their friends, family, and community, to help support the Wheelan family during this incredibly challenging time.
