Hi, my name is Tim Shook. My youngest sister Rebecca and her husband Mike were expecting to give birth to a new, little girl this October.

Early on in the pregnancy they found out they had actually conceived twins. However, one of the twins had not survived. This led to a high risk pregnancy due to complications with the deceased baby in the womb.

The surviving baby was monitored regularly, and Rebecca was able to continue on with a healthy pregnancy.

The baby had a healthy heartbeat on her last appointment, this past Thursday.

Yesterday, Rebecca was concerned to not feel any movement from the baby. After a doctor's appointment they received news that baby Julia had already gone to heaven due to the umbilical cord being pinched. Rebecca delivered their little girl late Monday evening.

This has been heartbreaking news for them and our family.

With their consent, I am hoping to help relieve some of the financial strain over these next few weeks and months.

Any money given would help to cover funeral and burial expenses.
