</div>
<div>We thank you for your love, light, and prayers during this nightmare experience.
</div>
<div>----------------------
</div>
<div>We are heartbroken to share that our dear friends have experienced an unimaginable tragedy. A devastating car accident took the life of their precious 2.5-month-old baby, Iris, and left their 3.5-year-old child, Ares, with severe burns requiring extensive medical treatment. The accident was caused by a vehicle fleeing from the police and crashing into their car. Iris' father, who was driving, was not at fault.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The children are the grandbabies of Alan and Sarah Vawter.
</div>
<div>The parents are Jack (Jasmine) and Shadow.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Now, this family is facing not only overwhelming grief but also staggering medical bills, funeral expenses, and months of recovery ahead. We are asking for your support to help them through this heartbreaking time.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>How Your Donations Will Help:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Funeral &amp; Memorial Costs – Covering the unexpected expenses of laying their baby to rest ($10,000 - $20,000)
</div>
<div>Medical Expenses – ICU treatment, surgeries, and skin grafts for the 3.5-year-old ($75,000 - $300,000, depending on insurance coverage)
</div>
<div>Financial Relief for the Parents &amp; Grandparents – Time off work to grieve and care for the child ($20,000 - $50,000)
</div>
<div>Counseling &amp; Therapy – Mental health support for the entire family ($2,000 - $10,000)
</div>
<div>Travel, Lodging, &amp; Other Expenses – Covering transportation to and from the hospital, food, and temporary living needs ($5,000 - $15,000)
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>How You Can Help
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>No parent should have to endure the pain of losing a child while also worrying about finances. Every donation, no matter how small, will help relieve their burden and allow them to focus on healing. If you are unable to give, please share this campaign and keep this family in your prayers.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your kindness, love, and support during this unimaginable time.
