Shumway family cookie jar auction planned

A Cookie Jar Auction to benefit Logan and Sesi Shumway and their premature twins will be held on Saturday, September 28 at 6 p.m. at the fair building.

The Shumway’s twin boys were born on July 31, 2024, at 29 weeks gestation. The family said, “They have also been in the world for a month now. Both babies have reached so many milestones and grown so much already. Koa is 1 lb 14.5 oz, which is 6.5 oz higher than his birth weight. Zion is 2 lbs 10 oz which is 13 oz higher than his birth weight. Both babies have been extubated and are still needing respiratory support through a ventilator. As of now, they are very stable and go through many ups and downs daily, but for the most part, they are headed in the positive direction. These two still have quite some time before we can think about taking them home in November, but we’re so proud of the things they have conquered this far!”

The funds will help the young, newly married couple. Donations will help with traveling, lodging,and food. Clay and Amberli Shumway and Paul and Nancy Jensen are grandparents of the twins. 

Cookie jars can be dropped off at the fair building after noon or drop them off early at The Shoppe Floral & Gifts.

Dinner by donation will be provided by We’ve Got Your Six Portions.

There is also a Go Fund Me page set up to help Sesi and Logan through this challenging time.
