Donation protected

At 8:00 am our baby boy whom was only 9 days old today stopped breathing. He came home from the hospital Saturday 8/26/2017 he was 3 weeks early so they kept him for a week for observation due to being early and only 4 lbs 13.4 ounces. He was doing perfect gaining weight, eating more and more everyday all of his test came back perfect. He was a healthy baby boy and just as perfect as can be. Sunday 8/27/2017 he had a follow up dr.s appointment and he was beyond perfect. Still gaining weight, eating perfectly with no spitting up, his lungs heart and EVERYTHING was great. This morning Monday 8/28/2017 i got up at 6am to feed him and he ate his 60ml of breastmilk like hes been taking for 5 days now. I layed him back down in his bassinet and like always i constantly checked on him. Around 8:00 am i went to get him changed and feed him before our 8:45am WIC appointment and our baby was not breathing. My husband grabbed our 4 year old and i had our baby boy in my arms and we literally did 85 mph to the hospital. They worked on him for over an hour before they stopped and said he just isnt responding to any of the medicine or chest compressions nor the tubes down his throat and nose. They pronounced him at 9:17am. Its the worst feeling in the world to ever have to go through. They are doing an autopsy on him but think it definitely has to be because of S.I.D.S. i just dont understand why god had to take our baby boy. :'(
We are so heartbroken. My husband is disabled due to a broken neck, chrones disease, and kidney cancer and disability keeps denying him. Im unemployed to help my husband and to raise our 4 year old little girl.
I am not sure how we are going to bury our son because we have no income what so ever. Im asking for help to be able to cover funeral and burial costs, plus all other expenses for our 9 day old son, ANYTHING will help I would greatly appreciate your help. No mother nor father should EVER have to bury their child its the worst and hardest thing in the world ive ever had to do is say goodbye to our baby boy. I wouldnt wish this on anybody. We miss him so much no words could ever describe the pain, love, or heartbreak that me and my husband are feeling right now.
Anything you could spare or help us out with so we can have a funeral for our baby boy, and to cover all other expenses while not working would be beyond greatly appreciated.
Thank you....
