During such a crazy time in this world, an amazing thing happened. William Eugene Silva, was born to Michelle and Mark! He is a true miracle as he was born at 23 and a half weeks old on April 15th. Wes, is in the fight for his life, and he couldn't ask for a better support system than his two amazing parents that have not left his side! Since Wes is considered a micro-preemie, he is currently in the NICU at UVA Medical Center for the foreseeable future. Mark and Michelle are going to be taking up residency nearby to be close to the baby at all times. As you know, Mark and Michelle would never ask for anything, and they are the ones that are always there for others during their time of need. It's our turn to be there for them when they need us the most. I'm setting a goal of $10,000 to go towards lodging and medical expenses. Any amount exceeding what is needed will be donated to the UVA NICU in appreciation for the amazing care the staff is providing to Wes.

Mark and Michelle are also very aware of how difficult life has been for most people that are struggling with the economy and the effects of this pandemic. If you are unable to donate, please share this donation page and keep the Silva family in your prayers

*Update* YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING!!! Thank you so much for helping me reach our goal! We have decided to increase the original goal to cover William's upcoming medical expenses and all excess funds will continue to go to William's NICU team. Again, thank you so much and lets continue to lift Mark, Michelle and William up with our prayers.
