Support the Tankka Family

Donation protected
My name is Samantha Stafford. I am raising funds for my sister, brother and law, and my niece and nephew. Sweet Lilah (my niece) is 13 months old. She has had several hospital stays over the last few months due to what we thought were “breath holding spells.” Doctors have been able to figure out that Lilah has epilepsy and a heart condition. Emergency surgery for a pacemaker is scheduled for Sunday, March 24th at 10am EST.

I am asking for financial help for my family. My brother in law, Tyler, has been unable to work during these hospital stays. He does not receive paid time off from his job. My sister, Jessica, stays home with both children daily.

Unfortunately, life and bills go on even when you are in the hospital for weeks. What I am asking for is help to pay their mortgage, utilities, and food while they stay with Lilah in the hospital prepping and recovering from surgery.

Thank you so much for your continued prayers and well wishes.
