Graysons heavenly trip to Kara Fund

Donation protected

I thought my heart and my families heart couldn't possibly be more broken after our princess Kara was taken from this earth, 2 weeks short of her 3 yr angelversary, the intense feeling of helplessness and emptyness is not something that  I EVER thought my children would go through in their lifetime again.......  One family can only take so much heart ache.  But here we are again.   On January 2nd  around 8:00pm we received the call - my son  Tyler hysterical and heartbroken....( His baby boy Grayson Todd Jenkins was set to be delivered this friday Janaury 6th, everything during this pregnancy was smooth , no complications, she just had an amazing ultrasound on the 29th where he was waving to his MIMI - bags were packed to make the trip the MIssouri to hold all my boys on Friday- little Nate couldn't have been more ready to be a big brother and my Kaylee to be an Auntie again at the precious age of 5.  My son and his fiancee were beyond ready to welcome their new bundle of joy into this world.
My son was told by his finacee the dr had called and there was something wrong with a breathing test and to get right to the hospital - she went right away, hooked up to all of the machines only to be told their was no longer a heart beat - thier precious miracle would come into this world silently after her labor was induced overnight, she was forced to deliver a baby that they knew would not draw in a single earthly breathe... He was born this morning at roughly 7:46...... beautfiul and perfect and already an angel.  They are currently at Cox Medical Center South in Springfield Missouri, holding their precious baby boy Grayson and having to say their goodbyes. I am sick , heartbroken, helpless, and beyond inconsolable, which is only a fraction of what they are feeling.  They were given paperwork on what funeral places they could call, which I can tell you from my experience is the last thing they can concentrate on being able to do, let alone try to  figure out how they will find funds to pay for the funeral, service, plot, and open and close fees.  I have taken the liberty to make calls and estimate what is needed for the kids. In consideration of an infant casket, graveside service only - which is donated by the funeral home, the infant plot, the open and close fees, a monument at alternate  date, time off of work - (Tyler was on family leave until Febrary 1st unpaid while waitng the arrival, and Alishia is a stay at home mama to their 2 yr old Nathan.- awaiting birth, and at least 6 weeks out form working again.) I am setting the goal at $4,000 to help them with all the arrangements and costs neccessary ...  Please help if you can 10, 20, 50,  100 .....really anything that you would consider helping with would be a blessing to myself and my sons precious family.. ..  I cannot begin to describe the pain felt right now, words just seem so empty .....how do you go from packing your bags for the hospital to bring your precious miracle into this world and go home without your baby in your arms having to think about what funeral home to call to move forward.  I can tell you from my raw experience, their world will never ever ever be the same, all the things that we all take for granted each and every day stolen with no warning like a thief in the night....  Please help me make this one thing that they do NOT have to worry about.
