Little Tait

On another blog I read, there was a post today about a family who is facing a financial crisis.  Their baby boy, Tait, was born at 27 weeks.  Thanks to the medical system in the U.S., after 3 months in hospital, the family now owes $181 000 for his care.  They have managed to negotiate the bill down to $51 000 but must pay by June 4th to avoid the full bill.  They don't have the money to cover it and are doing what they can to raise the funds.  While I am a little bit uncomfortable with people who ask strangers to donate to pay their bills, I am horrified at what a debt like this might do to a family.   An Etsy artist  and blogger, Breezy Tulip, has put the above print up for order to support the family.  If you are interested in the print, check here and if you want to see more about Tait's story, check here.  While I am uncomfortable giving money to something when it is over the internet and I don't know the truth of the situation, we have ordered one and think it will be lovely in Pk's room.
