Funeral funds for Orion & Aurora

Donation protected
On August 22, 2016 at 11:20 pm Samantha gave birth to a baby boy and a baby girl. Sadly, the twins, Orion and Aurora, did not stay with us for very long. Joe and Samantha got to hold their babies one time as they said their goodbyes. They were so happy to be adding two new babies to their happy family but left the hospital only with broken hearts and empty arms. The twins' big brother and sister were excited to meet their little siblings too, but were never given the chance. Now, Orion and Aurora are in the morgue in the hospital in Spokane. Their mother and father want to bring their babies home for a proper burial. Having the twins close to home will bring their parents as much peace and closure that they could possibly find during such a tragic time in their lives. However, everyone knows how expensive a funeral is. Joe and Samantha were not prepared for this loss and were not planning on paying for the funeral of their beloved children. Samantha was working two jobs, both with special needs children, and was placed on bed rest during her pregnancy. She loves the work she does with disabled children  but has still been unable to return to work until she has physically and emotionally healed enough for her doctor to release her. We are asking for your help in our family's time of mourning. First and foremost any donations will go towards the cost of burying baby Orion and baby Aurora, as well as purchasing their headstone. Providing for the family has fallen solely on Joe and any left over funds will go towards helping Joe, Samantha, and their surviving kids with basic life necessities until Samantha can go back to work full time. Our entire family would like the thank all of the support and positive thoughts we have been given during this difficult time. We truly have a great community. Thank you in advance for anyone willing and able to make a monetary donation.
