Help Bourdeau's with expenses due to infant loss

*update 02/03/24*

We are still raising donations to help with medical expenses, funeral and burial costs including needing to order a headstone.

Please consider donating if you can. I understand it's been a month and people feel more giving right after something tragic happens. But this is still very fresh for us and we are still dealing with the financial aspects of everything.

Please continue to share to help us reach our goal.

Hi, my name is Brittany. Today, 11/27/23, I unfortunately went into pre-term labor and my water broke at only 22 weeks.

Unfortunately my husband, James, has no vacation available to use and only gets unpaid FMLA. We have two children who need to be cared for and living expenses/traveling to pay for. I could be in Green Bay for up to 3 months if baby decides to stay put and grow a little stronger. As of now things are bright and she's staying put. Anything will help us at this point as we try and figure out what we can do between work, our children and keeping Baby Aria safe.

*12/28/23 UPDATE* -

I'm sad to share that on Tuesday, December 26th, Aria gained her wings. Unfortunately, after a month of hospital bedrest, fighting, and growing, her heartbeat was barely able to be found and was extremely low, so I was rushed into an emergency c section. She was born without a heartbeat, but they were able to revive her after 10 long minutes. Sadly, her little body just endured too much too soon and the awful decision had to be made to let her pass.

We are completely shattered and lost right now. I dreamed of a daughter my entire life.

To top it off, we are stressed about how we're going to pay our bills and be able to bury her back home all while grieving. Unfortunately James work only provides 3 days of paid bereavement time, even for a child. The rest of the time he needs to heal from this will have to be unpaid.

His sister, Brittany, has also set up a meal train for us as I have a long recovery from my emergency c-section and James takes care of our other two small children. If that is something you'd rather do please feel free to sign up at https://mealtrain.com/ekrgol

Any type of monetary, food, or otherwise donation is so appreciated at this time. It truly is a nightmare we wish we could wakeup from.
