"From Rain To Rainbows"

**Update since I first started the page**

**To those of you who are possibly reading this for the first time, thank you for taking the time to read this. Since my brother and I started the page, we went from $5,000, to $10,000, and now to $20,000, and we may or may not go higher. My cousin suffered an indescribable loss, which you will read below, however, the condition of the baby is different than before. Lillian Rose has extensive brain damage on 3 parts of her brain, due to the trauma of her mother dying. She may or may not wake up, if she does, she will be severely disabled. My cousin and his 2 younger sons need the help, and now possibly the baby if she comes home. I just found out a couple of days ago that Lilly will be getting a tracheotomy to help her breathe and a feeding tube within the next couple of weeks. Right now she is fighting pneumonia, so please. She needs many prayers. Please pray for his family.**-end

My name is Maryah and my brother, Dylan Lloyd, have started this page due to a tragic event within our family. Our cousin, Christopher Lacina, lost his 32 year old wife, Jacque, on September 13, 2017. She was 8 months pregnant with their 3rd child, a baby girl named Lillian Rose.
As of right now, the family does not know the cause of death and we are devastated because little Lillian Rose is in critical condition.
Jacque loved her children and she loved my cousin. She just had her baby shower for Lily 2 weeks prior to her passing. Jacque was so happy that she was having a girl. Jacque was always happy and bubbly, which makes this even more horrible.
Our cousin needs all the support he can get, not only because he has lost his wife, but now his baby girl is also at risk.
Their other children, Nathaniel (4) and Wes (2), no longer have their Mommy.
Please help contribute, nothing is to small. The money would help with funeral expenses and any help Chris may need for himself and the babies.

UPDATE:
"Somewhere Over the Rainbow" Drive
Is something I started for the boys.
Lots of people wanted to do more than just donate money, so I thought this would be perfect, anyone can help that lives in the area. You can donate toys, clothes, gift cards, shoes, diapers; pretty much anything. If you would like information about this, please contact me.

Clothes: Size 3T and 5
Pull Ups Size 5 NIGHT TIME and Diapers size 5
Shoe sizes 8 and 12


I have also started The Meal Train
Here is the link:

https://mealtrain.com/vqd1o6

You can prepare a home cooked meal and bring it to Chris and the boys. Chris is at the hospital DAY AND NIGHT and doesn't have time to cook for them. Doing this is great! The kids love when people bring them food...it makes them happy. All you do is pick a date on the calendar and sign up what you will bring. You can even deliver gift cards for fast food places in the area and put it in the mail box or have pizza delivered the day you picked.

I have made this GOFUNDME not about the money, but about the love for the family and how much people can do for one another. So many people have come together. It has been amazing.

Chris and the kids have been so appreciative.

Again, PLEASE SHARE!!


**As a side note, the title of this campaign, "From Rain to Rainbows", was a company that Jacque started where she made/sold art pieces that could help parents in the healing process who have lost a child due to death or through a miscarriage. **
