A Casket too small: Lets Help this Doula through her Loss!

Donation protected
Have you ever witnessed something cruel happen to someone truly kind?

My old neighbor, Patty—who some of you know as a Christian, devoted mama, always smiling, and selfless doula—just delivered her baby boy. After 9 months of carrying, and two days of labor, Baby K was born still.
No words can hold that kind of pain!
Some of you may not know her,
But I’ll try to show you who this woman is.

This past year, Patty fought for her life:

* She was wrongfully set up
* Evicted
* Her car broke down
* She worked 3+ jobs
* Lived in a hotel
* Drove her kids to school every day
* And STILL showed up for other people’s kids, her church, and every mother she could help!!
I was a direct WITNESS to this woman always smiling, being kind, and never giving up.
She NEVER complained. She trusted God, kept going, and smiled through it all.
And when she found out she was pregnant, it felt like light was finally breaking through her tough season.

But now—just when she should be snuggling her newborn, breastfeeding, healing—she's mourning, pumping milk with no baby to feed, and returning to a hotel room with empty arms and a shattered heart.

!!! I’m asking for your help.!!!

Let’s show Patty that #God sees her. That #people care and that she is NOT ALONE in her Job moment.

We’re raising $6,000 to cover at least 2 months of housing, and to give her family breathing room while they grieve.

If they choose to have a memorial or service for Baby K, your support will also help with that.

She shouldn’t have to hustle, work, or “stay strong” right now. She just needs rest, stability, and the LOVE of a community.

If you can give, please do. If you can’t, please share.
Let’s surround Patty the way she’s surrounded so many others.

Thank you.
❤️
