Cavale Family Support

Sometimes life just feels too hard and so surreal... it’s been one of those seasons for the Cavale family. In a matter of two years, Jessica’s dad and mom have both passed away, and they’ve also  miscarried three babies. This May they found out they were expecting another baby BOY who would be due the same week that her mom passed away the year before. They were full of joy over another baby coming into their family. 

At their 18 week ultrasound appointment, it showed various complications with the baby’s development. After another more conclusive test, their sweet baby has been diagnosed with the most severe version of Trisomy 13. Their doctor said, based on his ultrasound and genetic testing, his life expectancy only a few days. Jack was born on December 7th and has been snuggling comfortably in Jess and Forrest’s arms since. They are so thankful to have these days with him. 

This is sure to be the hardest season of their lives, thus far, and they are praying God shows up in some amazing ways. They are taking each day as it comes and are thankful to God for his little life.

They have named their little boy:

** Jack Carmine Cavale **

Jack -  after her mom, Jacquelyn (Grandma Jack was her name from her grandkids) 

Carmine - after Forrest's middle name, and his Papa Cavale 

Jack means “God is gracious” and Carmine means a “child brought under special protection”

The money raised will go towards:
-medical bills: special testing already done, appts and delivery (they are self employed so their insurance is terrible )
-funeral costs
-grief counseling
-they are self employed so they don’t make money if they don’t work. We’d love to create a financial buffer so they can properly bond and grieve throughout this time 

Let’s rally around this beautiful family and help support them with their upcoming medical costs and allow for a financial buffer, so Forrest and Jess can be present with their boys during this time.
