When I don't know what to do, I defer to people with greater knowledge, greater wisdom, greater experience, and greater perspective.
And Marshall's health is no exception.
The difference between life and death for hundreds of babies, like Marshall, born with special hearts, comes down to a lot of things. But in the process of securing the help Marshall needed, I found it often came down to knowledge, money, resources, and access to information.
We're working as hard as we can to gather all of the above. And sometimes that just isn't enough.

Any donations we receive will be designated solely for the purpose of ensuring Marshall gets the best care we can offer during our time with him. Though I hope that time is long, there are no guarantees. But one thing is certain: every dollar we raise (beyond covering Marshall's medical and travel expenses) will be used to establish a foundation dedicated to helping other families as they manage their child's congenital heart disease and congenital heart defects.
An anonymous donor once offered to match every dollar in donations up to $10,000. For his or her support, help, and prayers there are not words enough to ever repay our debt.
Think of the number of lives we could help if we could.
Please help if you can.
This is the best thing I have heard in a very long time. I am so happy for all of you.
Marshall is a miracle and continues to prove that every day. Thank you God for answered
prayers. I can not WAIT until you come home Marshall. (and Rebecca and Michael).
Oh my goodness, this is news we were reluctant to even hope to hear! It’ll be so nice to have you all out of the hospital and back home. Here’s hoping the little one gains some weight and our next visit will be in Sherburne! Love to you all –
What wonderful news! Continuing to send love and prayers.
