Evan’s story as told by a parent:
Hi, my name is Evan. I was born way too early. At birth, I weighed 1lb. 5 oz. They called me a micro preemie. I was in the Helen DeVos Children’s Hospital from my birth on January 6 until November 11.
My medical care is very costly. We would love it if you would join us at our fun event to raise money to help with my medical expenses.
