On January 14th at 2:22AM, our sweet baby boy,  Dyami Artishon was born via emergency c-section. After a long exhausting three week hospital stay, because mom's water breaking & heavy bleeding at 29 weeks pregnant, he was born almost 8 weeks premature. He weighed 4 pounds 5oz  and got down to 3 pounds 9oz after reaching 31 weeks & 6 days gestation. We are so grateful to know he’s under excellent care in the NICU here at Children’s Hospital in St. Paul.

With Adrian having very limited paternity leave, the bills are starting to pile up. We are humbly asking for help so that we can spend time together as a family during and after Dyami’s NICU stay. Our car has broken down multiple times because of ongoing issues. We are a single income family, and with hospital parking and food, any help at all is so greatly appreciated! Thank you. With love, The Artishon's
