We are truly blessed to have had Austin’s earliest weeks under the exceptional care of the doctors and nurses at Prentice NICU. Born at just 33 weeks, Austin spent 7 weeks in their care, and each night as we left his side, we could sleep peacefully knowing he was in the best hands possible. Their dedication and expertise brought us comfort during a challenging time, and we will forever be thankful for the role they played in Austin's journey.
Austin was diagnosed with Zellweger, a rare and terminal genetic condition. With the love and support of our family and friends, we’ve been able to create a lifetime of precious and joyful memories. These moments are treasures we hold close to our hearts. Austin’s journey has become a source of inspiration, encouraging us to give back, embrace every blessing, and live each day with purpose and gratitude.
In honor of Austin, we joined the March of Dimes movement to create positive change for moms and babies everywhere, especially those most at risk. With preterm birth and maternal death rates continuing to rise, we are committed to raising funds so that every family gets the best possible start. Together we’ll be part of a movement to make America a more equitable place and ensure that every mom and baby is healthy.
Every little donation counts, please help us reach our donation goal in honor of Austin's journey and the March of Dimes Foundation.
Thank you all so much
