One of our fellow Statesmen is in need of our help!
On Wednesday, March 22, Matt (Hobart '03) and Lauren Daley’s son, Owen, was flown from Burlington, VT via life flight to Massachusetts General Hospital for Children (MGH) in Boston. Owen has been diagnosed with Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) along with bacterial pneumonia. While RSV typically manifests as a common cold, the combination of the virus and the bacteria quickly escalated into a very serious medical situation. Owen is currently on a ventilator and in a sedated state to keep him comfortable. He is recovering, but the length of his recovery will require Owen to remain in the hospital through April and possibly into May.
On top of all this, Lauren, who was pregnant during Owen's evacuation to Boston, drove with Matt from VT to MA to give birth to their second son, Griffin, and be near Owen. Fortunately Griffin arrived safely yesterday morning at 6:20 AM. However, given Owen's condition, those in contact with him cannot be in contact with the baby.
While playing football and hockey at Hobart, Matt only knew how to play 100%. While he is doing whatever he can to help his family, due to the length of the stay in Boston to care for Owen, Matt and Lauren will be missing significant amount of work. Their stay could become very costly and, with our help, perhaps we can ease that burden?
Please show your support for the Daley's, especially Owen, by considering a donation of any amount to the fund has been set up on Owen’s behalf.
Please make checks payable to "Owen Daley" and mail to:
