Hi, I’m Natalie. Our family is grieving an unimaginable loss. A beautiful baby boy, Hendrix, was taken from us far too soon. I started this fundraiser for his mom, Juliet, and his big sister, Taliyah.

Juliet is my cousin, a young single mom who has poured all her love and strength into raising her children. Now, she is faced with the heartbreak no parent should ever have to endure; the sudden loss of her 10-month-old baby, Hendrix. On top of her grief, she still has to care for her two-year-old daughter and figure out how to start again in a home that no longer feels like home.

Hendrix is remembered as the squishiest, sweetest, most laid-back baby. He was healthy, active, and full of light. His smile and giggles were priceless. He loved being part of the fun, content to sit on anyone’s lap, but his eyes were always glued to Jules. His sister adored him, and they were inseparable.

This fundraiser will help cover funeral costs, provide stable housing, and give Juliet and Taliyah the support they need for counseling and healing. Every single contribution will bring comfort and stability to Juliet and Taliyah. If you’re not in a position to give, simply sharing this page can help more than you know. Together, we can show Juliet and Taliyah that they are not alone and that even in their darkest moment, they are surrounded by love and compassion.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for standing with our family. Your kindness, generosity and support mean more than words can say.

With gratitude,

Natalie & Family

Our family is deeply grateful to everyone who tried to save his little life, especially the first responders and emergency staff at Almonte Hospital.
