So my cousin and his wife have just had a brand new baby, Cooper, and he is really sick. He’s been in the NICU having seizures almost constantly since he was born last week and he was only able to start breathing on his own today, he has club feet that need surgery and a chromosome disorder that they haven’t identified yet. They’ll get the results for the chromosome disorder in a couple weeks, and for now he has an IV going into his head with anti-seizure medication.

The thing is, my cousin and his wife had absolutely no warning that anything was wrong and they were flown off the island to the children’s hospital on the mainland and my cousin thinks he’s lost his job from having to miss work, and they’re really struggling to support themselves away from home and even at home they are going to need a lot of stuff to support their new special needs baby.

If you can donate even a few dollars to help them survive this nightmare and look after baby Cooper I would be eternally grateful (and so will they!) He has had a really rough start to life and if you can help make it a little easier it would mean the world to me.

This is their Gofundme

Please boost this if you can!

So, I forgot to include this, but Cooper also has a cleft in his lower back. It’s not spina bifida because his spinal column did seal and he can move his legs a little bit, but they aren’t sure what exactly the ramifications of it are yet. 😦

Any amount is greatly appreciated! Even a couple dollars will help them meet their goal!

Thank you so so much!
