On 6/7/25 Catarina unexpectedly went into labor with her and Tanners sweet baby boy, Steele Bryce Pennington. On 6/8/25 at 3:08 PM he made his way into the world. Upon birth, he was immediately taken to the nursery and eventually flown to Greenville NICU due to some respiratory issues, while Catarina was dealing with her own complications from birth. Steele is still in the NICU battling respiratory issues, pulmonary hypertension, tube feedings and is currently being treated for pneumonia.
Catarina and Tanner are both currently out of work and driving back and forth to Greenville daily to be with their baby boy while he continues to get stronger in the hopes of bringing him home soon to his big sister Wren and the rest of their family.
If you know Tanner & Catarina, you know they are the first ones there to help when their friends or loved ones are in a crisis. Im setting up a fundraiser to raise money to help relieve some of the stress of bills, travel, food etc. so they can focus on their sweet baby.
Even if you’re unable to donate, please pray for strength and comfort in the days ahead for them, their family and sweet baby Steele.
I’ll post updates as they’re given by Catarina & Tanner!
