Support for Jade, Maurice, and Baby Eli: Our dear friends Jade and Maurice recently welcomed their beautiful baby boy, Eli, into the world a bit earlier than expected — arriving at 32 weeks and 4 days. While baby Eli is growing stronger every day in the NICU, this season has brought emotional and physical challenges as Jade and Maurice navigate life between the hospital and home. As their community, we have the chance to surround them with love, encouragement, and practical support. One of the most meaningful ways we can help right now is by easing their daily load — whether through meals, gift cards, or small gestures that remind them they’re not alone. Whether it’s dinner on a long day, a cup of coffee, or a simple note of encouragement, every act of kindness makes a difference. As we all know, Jade and Maurice have been there for many of us and this is a small but meaningful way we can support them. Thank you for rallying around this amazing family as they wait to bring baby Eli home. Please feel free to share this site with close friends and loved ones - near and far so they are reminded of our love and encouragement.
