Support for baby Leo

Hello friends,

I’m reaching out to ask for help for my sister Jessie, her husband Benjamin, and their sweet baby Leo. Leo was born on November 22, and he is the sweetest, most perfect little baby. On January 4, he started having seizures, and they’ve been admitted to Vanderbilt Children’s Hospital ever since.

The doctors are still trying to figure out what’s causing the seizures and how to manage them, but it’s going to be a long road. They’ll continue to be at Vanderbilt for the foreseeable future, and will likely have to travel for further treatment and consultation after discharge.

Jessie has had to take an indefinite leave from work to be with Leo, and as you can imagine, the medical bills are already piling up fast. We want to help ease the financial burden so they can focus on what matters most—getting Leo the care he needs.

Anything you can give will go directly toward covering hospital bills, travel expenses, and Jessie’s time off to be with Leo. And if you’re not in a place to donate, sharing this would mean the world to us.

Thank you so much for your support, love, and prayers. We’re so grateful for this community.
