They say it takes a village to raise a child. We believe that’s still true — and we want Baby Payton to grow up knowing they were surrounded by love, generosity, and community from day one. These early weeks are beautiful, but they’re also exhausting. By covering meals, groceries, or simply sending a little encouragement, you’re helping us focus on what matters most: bonding with our baby, resting, and adjusting as a family. This page isn’t just about support for us. It’s about proving that the “village” still exists — and you’re part of that proof. Every meal, gift, or note you contribute becomes part of Baby Payton’s story of being welcomed into a world where people show up for one another. Thank you for being part of our village. We’ll never forget it.
