Hope for Harley medical expenses

About Harley:
Harley was born with Type IV Long Laryngeal Cleft and was the first to survive the extent of her abnormalities. At two weeks old, Harley was flown to Cincinnati, where a few days later, she had trouble breathing. From two weeks to five months old, Harley was intubated. Her parents were devastated at not being able to hold their precious daughter. At four months old, Harley went through a 13-hour-long open chest surgery, where they stopped her breathing and circulated her blood through a machine that oxygenated it for her, called ECMO. Her surgeon used tissue from her shin to build a wall to reconstruct her airway essentially. Harley now has a tracheostomy and feeding tube.
Harley today:
Harley is currently a very sick little girl. She has pneumonia, collapsed lung, antibiotic resistant infections, a cardiac incident, she's septic, and more. She has been transferred to Lurie Children's Hospital in Chicago where she was put on full ventilator settings and a million medications. She is currently medically paralyzed and sedated. She's made some very small improvements, and we need her to keep trending this way.
Harley has a hard journey ahead of her and with all the time spent at the hospital, lets support Zack and Laura by helping with medical expenses, childcare, and anything else that comes there way.
If you are unable to donate , know that your prayers and healing thoughts are so greatly appreciated. The support and love shown has been overwhelming ❤️Thank you so much for showing our amazing Harley so much love.
