Funeral costs for baby Elayna

Donation protected

So I have changed  this go fund page for Daryl and Carmen.  If you want to see the origial info of their original stuggle I left it below. Unfortunatly we are now in need of funeral expenses. Baby Elyana passed away in her sleep early yesterday morning (9-6-16).  Rob and I will continue to over see the money and will make sure it all is used for the funeral. If we raise more than what we need for the funeral, the left over will be used for the continued care of Daryl and Carmens other 3 children. We will oversee it all.  The last thing Daryl and Carmen should have to worry about right now is money, Especially for the funeral. They need to focus on greiving and caring for their other 3. This is the worst thing ever to happen to a parent. And if you can't give much anything helps. If 100 people give $10 that's $1000. It all adds up. Please also pray for all of us. Especially Daryl and Carmen.
Also as we make funeral arrangements and use the money given I will post pictures and updates of the process.
Below is the original go fund me story if you want more info on what this family has been going through.

111This is for friends of ours Daryl and Carmen. They are a young couple with four kids under 2. They have had it rough and are trying hard to make the best decisions with their lives. Over the past year and half they have really made huge changes in their lives and are doing everything they can to be the best parents and example to their kids. They have two 1 year old girls -- Olivia and Sophia. And 2 twin new born babies -- Little Daryl and Elayna. They were born 2 months early and spent the first month of their lives in the hospital. Since then they have both been back multiple times due to typical premie issues. However little Daryl is now thriving, but Elayna is still really struggling. She has been in the hospital multiple times for multiple days at a time. The last time was for over a week and unfortunately she just went back into the hospital today. She is unable to keep her formula down. This has been very rough on this new family with multiple children. They don't have very many people they can rely on and we are doing what we can to help. They are currently living with Daryl's mother who has a 2 bedroom apt. Needless to say that's a very tight space for 3 adults and 4 babies. Due to all the hospital stays Carmen is unable to work right now so Daryl is the main money maker. He has a good job with GM however with down time his hours are down right now and they are really strugging to save enough to move out on their own. They also have very little of what they need for all 4 babies. They have 2 cribs and 2 pack and plays since they can't afford 2 more cribs. So I am trying to raise enough money for a down payment and a few months rent for a 3 to 4 bedroom apt and also for the needed baby supplies they have yet been able to afford and household necessities. My husband and I will help them make the most of what is donated and will gladly take pictures of what they buy and share updates on their family. We are so proud of how devoted they are to their children and how hard they are working to provide for them. If you would  like to see more photo's of this beautiful family I have a folder in my photo's of them. If you want to help them with physical items ie.. baby stuff, clothes, or household items please private message me. And please pray for them. Pray for patience, wisdom, strength, peace that passes all understanding, endurance to weather this current storm and for rest. Thank you for whatever you are able to do money wise, prayer wise or encouragment wise. It will be appreciated more than you may ever know.
