About this fundraiser

Hello my name is Samantha, I am currently almost 31 weeks pregnant with my son Elijah. I will be having him at exactly 32 weeks on April 27th,2026. I am having him early due to medical issues that have caused some life threatening concerns for myself. I will require a C-section as well as a Hysterectomy and have been out of work for several months due to my high risk pregnancy. I am a single mom of now 4 babies and my other 3 are with my amazing family as I am hospitalized until I deliver and recover. I currently live almost 2 hours from where my son will be in NICU and I am trying to raise funds to either drive back and forth or if I'm not able to get into Ronald McDonald house get into a hotel near by as I will have to pump regularly to provide nutrition for him as he will be too small to digest formula and breast milk is the best thing for him. I am also trying to raise funds to help my family with the extra expenses of having my 3 kiddos with them. Tho they are happy to help I feel terrible to leave it all on them. Any little bit helps in my journey even just sharing this to get the word out.
