I am 22 years old, and i'm 24weeks pregnant. I was told on my 20th week by my doctor, that my unborn baby boy has a diaphragmatic hernia. This is a no reason birth deafect. it is where his diaphram never closed properly and his liver,intestines,and stomach are in his chest preventing his lungs to develop. As of right now my baby has a 50/50 chance of living. I live in southern IL, and have to travel to Philadelphia Childrens Hospital, to make sure he gets the best surgeon, and best hospital he can have, so we can give him a fighting chance. With me being out of work, because of being scared of going into pre-mature labor,( which if i do, my baby has no chance of living)And my husband working at a circuit city warhouse, we are having alot of financail problems. We need as much help as we can get. My baby boys medical bills will not be covered, and he has to have this surgery in order to give him a chance. If any one would like to help us, we have opend an account for him, so that donations can go in. The bank is called ( the back of marion) you can just tell them you want to make a donation to the unborn baby, and his name is Landen Matthew Hayden. The account is in his name. Thank you so much for your help. We need everybody and anybody's help, and there support. Please keep him in your prayers. If you want to help and have a paypal account you can send donations through paypal, to my e-amil address. you can send it to vanessa_123@mchsi.com thank you. If you want to know more about paypal, go to www.paypal.com, thank you so much. As of now, i'm 26weeks and 4 days pregnant. Our relocting day to philly has moved up. Were leaving Monday Feb.19th. I went to my doctors appt. 4 days ago and they said my amnotic fluid is up to high, so we have to relocate early, so the docs can drain the fluid out. If they do not do this, and my amnotic fluid gets to high, i will go into pre-mature labor, and my baby will have a 0% chance of living. We will be living there at the ronald mc.donald house until my baby is born, and ready to come home. Thank you all for your time.

So I was hoping I would get a responce from people, but I guess you all want that as well. We need to find someone that can help us. Everyone on here needs help, but no is on here to help. What to do?

thank you so much for your donation. $5.00 may not seem alot, but it is when your in need of it. I hope theres more people out there like you willing to help. Thanks for telling me about the paypal.
