A Fundraiser for Our Medical Expenses

We never imagined our beautiful daughter would come to us in this way. After being in discussion with the hospital financial aid office, we now know what our final costs are for Abigail's birth via C-section and her one day of round-the-clock NICU care, as well as my ICU stay for one day.

It's big. It's bigger than what we can do by ourselves, so we are asking for help.


When you share, you are doing two things. First, you're helping us to share this beautiful video put together by Mike Crockett that tells Abigail's story, how she spent one day with us, yet changed us forever. Second, you're helping us with a very real and pressing financial need.

Thank you for sharing and for your generosity. We know we can never pay everyone back for the help we have received and continue to receive. But we do believe in paying it forward. 

We have endeavored to be the kind of people who serve in church and community, help people move, and give to GoFundMe and Facebook fundraisers when people have the courage to ask for help. It does feel strange to be so much on the receiving end lately, but we know we must be realistic about our needs and not try to do it all on our own. We also, as I mentioned first, very much hope and believe that this GoFundMe fundraiser can be a vehicle for spreading Abigail's story and influence even more widely. God's will be done.

We love you and thank you for your love and support!

P.S. If you are uncomfortable donating through the GoFundMe website, you can donate via Venmo: @Katrina-Lantz-1
