• Raelynn’s Miracle Online Auction is from April 7 to April 28

The community is rallying to support Raelynn Snow, a 15-month-old girl born with Complex Congenital Heart Disease and Heterotaxy. Raelynn, the daughter of Caitland and Dallin Snow, recently underwent a groundbreaking reconstructive heart surgery at Primary Children’s Hospital. This unprecedented procedure involved all four components being completed in one operation. While the surgery went well, Raelynn is now facing serious complications, including issues with dialysis and ECMO, as well as problems with her lungs, kidney function, stomach infections, and fragile bones.

The Snow family is experiencing significant challenges during this time. Dallin is commuting weekly between Star Valley and the hospital for work, while Caitland, a first-year teacher, has exhausted her paid time off to remain with Raelynn. In light of these difficulties, many community members have expressed a desire to help. To that end, the Raelynn’s Miracle Online Auction has been organized to raise funds for the family. The auction will begin on Monday, April 7, 2025, and will conclude three weeks later on Monday, April 28, 2025, at 6:00 PM.

Community members are encouraged to donate items for the auction, including food, babysitting services, crafts, and other creative contributions. Donors should post descriptions of their items, including location and shipping availability. Bidders can participate by commenting with their bid amounts on the auction items. The highest bid at the end of the auction will win the item. Payment for winning bids is due by Saturday, May 3, 2025, at 7:00 PM, with Venmo being the preferred payment method (@Caitland-Erickson).

Through this initiative, the community aims to provide much-needed support and love to the Snow family during this challenging time. Those who would like to contribute can also send direct donations via Venmo. The Snow family appreciates all acts of kindness and support as they navigate this difficult journey.
