In Loving Memory of Baby Alexander – Please Help Support Belle & Jareth to provide baby Alexander the funeral he deserves and help them through a challenging time.

On 1 August, beautiful little Alexander passed away and later born by emergency caesarean at just 29 weeks, weighing only 490g in the RNS Maternity unit after Belle developed HELLP syndrome, a dangerous pregnancy complication which has also taken a toll on Belle physically.

This heartbreak followed weeks of difficult decisions. At 25 weeks, Alexander’s movement slowed, Belle’s fluid levels dropped, and his heart rate began to dip. The doctors gave Belle and Jareth two options:

    1.    Give Alexander steroids to help his lungs develop and hope he made it to the next scan.

    2.    Deliver him immediately, knowing his chances of survival without steroids were almost zero.

They chose hope. They chose to fight alongside little Alexander but sadly he tragically passed.

Now, Belle and Jareth are facing the unimaginable grief of losing their baby boy, while also dealing with financial strain. Belle has had to take time away from her beautician business and Jareth is unable to work due to a workplace injury.

This fundraiser has been set up to help them cover:

Alexander’s funeral costs

Rent, bills, and essentials while they recover

Breathing space to grieve without the added stress of immediate financial hardship

If you can, please donate to give Alexander the farewell he deserves and help this family begin to heal. Every contribution, no matter the size, will make a difference.

From the bottom of my heart — thank you for your love, support, and prayers for Belle, Jareth, and their eldest son Odin during this devastating time.

Rest peacefully, beautiful Alexander. You will always be loved.
