Update! They are home and doing well! We have more support that we ever imagined. God heard our prayers and responded swiftly! Thank you to all who helped support them
Brianna our long time friend and therapist who cared for so many in our community needs a village right now.
As many know already, Brianna had a beautiful little boy 4 weeks ago. After a trying birth and NICU stay, Lucas, her son is doing well and working on gaining some weight. He is precious and the love of her and her husband’s life.
However, a quick turn of events has landed Brianna in the ER due to severe complications postpartum and continued cascade of complications, including Sepsis since then with 4 different hospital admissions since her birth. Her and her husband are exhausted and in need of some help. Her family is unable to really give them the support due to her father undergoing his own medical treatment and being admitted for his leukemia bone marrow transplant this week which will soon keep her parents in isolation due health risks.
So we are asking for donations to help raise money to pay for night time doula care to come a few times every so many days until they can take a breath and get more support. With the cost of hospital stays and complications it’s been difficult for them.
Our goal is to raise $2000 to help pay for 10 hours shifts for night time support so they can get the rest they need. You can donate directly to Brianna via Venmo with the caption pp night doula.
Brianna is also asking for any donor milk as the stress on her body, medications, and surgeries have significant impacts on her supply and wanting to ensure her son has donor milk to get them through the next few weeks as she tries to recover and build up her own supply again. If you or someone you know can support in this way please contact us at [email protected]
As always, prayers are the best way to support and protect them during this difficult time. Our biggest ask is to keep Brianna strong throughout this ordeal and get her back to having all the baby snuggles that one should be enjoying without pain and suffering.
Thank you.
With much love and appreciation for our community!
