Jen and Michael Culpepper had their baby Kaden on Monday, June 2nd, 2025. Kaden was born with unseen heart issues, and only after he was born did his body start failing, and emergency action had to be taken. Baby Kaden was transferred to UC Davis Hospital in Sacramento, where he was given open-heart surgery and a small chance to live. Baby Kaden passed away in Michael and Jen’s arms around 3 AM on Saturday, June 7th, 2025.

Jen and Michael have a long road ahead of them to recovery as they face the loss of their baby and as they continue to stay strong for their daughter Madison. Amongst medical bills and memorial services are only some of the costs. The last thing they need to worry about right now is finances. This is the toughest time in their lives, and they need all the support they can get. Nothing is comparable to the loss of your child. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

Update: the necklace the hospital gave us is misspelled so it’s “Kaden” not “Kayden”
