On November 20, 2025, our baby girl Emery passed away in the womb at 7 months. Instead of preparing for her arrival, we are now facing the heartbreaking reality of planning her funeral and saying goodbye far too soon.

This is one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to write. Asking for help does not come easy to me, and I would not be doing this if I had any other choice. But the costs of Emery’s funeral and memorial services are more than I can manage on my own right now.

Your support would help with:

• Funeral and burial/cremation expenses for Emery

• Memorial items to honor and remember her

• Other related costs during this time of grief

If you are able to donate, any amount truly helps. If you can’t give, sharing this page or keeping us in your thoughts and prayers means more than you know.

Thank you for reading Emery’s story and for any support you can offer as we say goodbye to our daughter.
