## Description

Our assistant chief’s daughter Hailee Jo was put in the hospital on September 23rd. She has since then been diagnosed with restrictive cardiomyopathy. With Hailee’s diagnosis she is unfortunately going to need a heart transplant. Therefore Hailee is going to be in the hospital for several months. 

Our family has a very difficult road ahead of us. With her being in the hospital Troy and Jessi will be staying up at the hospital with her and money is the last thing they need to be thinking about. 

Everyone that knows Hailee Jo knows she has the biggest heart there is. She’s the light of lot of people’s life. To know Hailee is to love Hailee. 
If you would like to donate to them I’m putting their Venmo below. Or if anyone would like to send Hailee or her parents a gift to help keep them occupied and comfortable for the upcoming months I know they would love that as well, just let me know. (Hailee Jo LOVES crafts) 

This is not the post I ever wanted to make but we are praying so hard for our Hailee Jo. She’s been a fighter since birth so we know she’s got this.

If you would like to send them something the address 

Stead Family Children’s Hospital
