Dear Friends, Family, and Kind Strangers,

We are reaching out with heavy hearts and hopeful spirits to ask for your support for our sweet baby boy, Sawyer James. At just 2 months old, Sawyer is facing an unimaginable battle—he needs a liver transplant to survive.

Sawyer’s Story 

Sawyer was born a beautifully small (5 Ibs 2 oz), strong baby at a birthing center in Ogden on January 10, 2025. By the grace of God, his mother had to be transported to Ogden Regional for emergency care for bleeding. That was also when the doctor rushed baby Sawyer to the NICU where he stayed for a week and a half. 

On January 22, it was discovered there was a possible serious liver condition. We were life flighted to Primary Children’s that evening. 

For another week, we stayed at Primary Children’s. Poor Sawyer got daily blood draws, constant foot pricks, nearly every imaging available and dozens of testing done. Most adults won’t endure through what he did in his first few weeks of life. 

The biggest concern doctors had (and continue to have) is for high ammonia levels and total bilirubin. Luckily, medication was able to stabilize both and we got to come home while continuing to get a diagnosis. Despite our hopes and the medical care he received, his tiny body is struggling. His doctors have told us that a liver transplant is his only chance at a healthy life. 

Why We Need Your Help 

A transplant is an expensive and complicated journey. Even with insurance, there are overwhelming costs, including: 

• Medical procedures & hospital stays
• Travel expenses to Primary Children’s Hospital 
• Medications that keep him stable while waiting for a transplant as well as anti-rejection medications that he will need for the rest of his life
• Lost wages as we take time off work to be by his side 

How You Can Help 

We cannot do this alone. Your donations—big or small—will go directly toward Sawyer’s life-saving care and help us provide him with the best possible future. 

Please consider: 

✅ Donating whatever you can

✅ Sharing this campaign with your network 

✅ Praying or sending positive thoughts for Sawyer’s strength and healing 

Every bit of support means the world to us. Thank you for standing with us and helping give Sawyer James the fighting chance he deserves. 

With gratitude and love, 

The Goss Family
