Cleveland! Get ready for a week of in-person/streamed concerts in which all proceeds will be donated to charity.
90% of proceeds are going to support Amy Baker and 10% of proceeds will be used for supplies to make “Hope Hearts” for the NICU. In addition, knitted/crocheted infant hats, blankets, and booties will also be collected for donation to the NICU.
Who is Amy Baker?
Amy is a mother of two and a passionate full-time teacher who teaches adapted core curriculum at a charter school for kids with autism. She has recently had some pregnancy complications, which led to weeks in the hospital and the premature birth of her second son at 31 weeks. Amy has always gone over and beyond for all of her students, so we are attempting to do the same to help her and her family during these trying times.
What are Hope Hearts?
Hope Hearts are small crocheted hearts (designed by Amy) in which one stays with the infant at the NICU and the other stays with the parent, so that way both parent and child will always have a piece of each other even when they can’t be together.
Amy was admitted to the hospital at 29 weeks, on September 3rd, when she began leaking amniotic fluid due to a preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM). During her hospital stay, Amy received antibiotics and steroids to help prevent infection and develop baby Liam’s lungs. On September 21st, Liam Bruce Evans was born at 31 weeks and 6 days after a placental abruption. He weighed 4 lbs 15oz and was 17 in long. Liam has been lucky to have no serious complications from his premature birth. Due to his lungs being underdeveloped when he was born, he has been on and off CPAP to give his lungs time to mature. He still experiences occasional apnea (periods of decreased heart rate and extended pauses in breathing) when breathing on his own. Right now he is working on gaining weight, breathing on his own full time, and drinking from a bottle instead of using a feeding tube so that he can go home. The money from this fundraiser will go to helping the family pay bills during Amy’s extended maternity leave as well as child care for Liam until his immune system is ready for him to attend daycare.
The following events will be live in-person and streamed on Facebook.
