Financial Assistance Testimonials

This was difficult but we survived. I was on salary, so I had a steady paycheck coming in. I did however, go to work after I was released from the hospital because the NICU staff didn’t let us do much with the girls. I saved my PTO for after the girls were home from the NICU. Jason had a GI bill and was going to school at the time. If we weren’t in this position, we would not have survived.  - Sara Bergsma

Receiving financial assistance was a very humbling thing for me.  We desperately needed help with travel, lodging and covering missed income, but I found it difficult to receive the help without feeling guilty. Our group of friends and family really came together to help us financially and it was such a blessing.  Something that I will never forget. - Greg Kester

Our family was fortunate enough to receive financial assistance from our network. These funds helped us pay for travel, food, household bills, and the additional expenses that come from unexpectedly needing to live in another state.  Without these funds, my wife and I would not have both been able to participate in the care and recovery of our daughter.  - Scott Thompson
