Help Andrew & His 5 Children After Losing Rosa and Baby Tony

A Family Forever Changed

In an instant, our world shattered. My brother Andrew lost the love of his life, Rosa Martha Rainey, and their unborn son, Tony Scott Rainey, in a sudden, devastating tragedy that no family should ever endure.

Just a few days ago, Andrew found Rosa unconscious on their living room floor. Despite his desperate attempts to wake her, it quickly became clear something was terribly wrong. He called 911, and paramedics rushed her to the emergency room. The medical team, recognizing the severity of her condition, immediately transferred her to the Intensive Care Unit and placed her on life support.

The doctors wanted to perform an MRI, but couldn't due to Rosa's cochlear implant. Through alternative testing, they discovered she had suffered a severe stroke caused by a blood clot in her brain. Despite emergency surgery, the doctors delivered the news no husband wants to hear—Rosa showed no brain activity.

Just two days later, as Andrew was still processing this unimaginable loss, he received another devastating blow: their unborn baby boy, Tony, would not survive.

A Mother's Legacy

Rosa was an extraordinary woman and the beating heart of their family. She devoted herself completely to raising their five beautiful children, creating a home filled with love, laughter, and warmth. Now pregnant with their sixth child, she had been excitedly preparing to welcome another blessing into their close-knit family.

Her gentle strength, unwavering patience, and boundless love shaped their children into the wonderful people they are today. The void she leaves behind is immeasurable.

A Father's New Reality

Andrew is now facing a future he never imagined—raising five grieving children on his own while processing his own profound loss. In an instant, he's become both mother and father to five young hearts who are trying to understand why their mommy isn't coming home.

He must now become a full-time, stay-at-home dad with no source of income. Before this tragedy, the family relied on Andrew's income while Rosa cared for their children. Now, to be there for his kids during this critical time of grief and adjustment, Andrew needs to be home with them—but this means no way to financially support his family.

How Your Support Will Help

The funds raised will first help give Rosa and baby Tony the dignified, loving farewell they deserve. Funeral expenses are overwhelming, especially during such an emotionally devastating time.

Additionally, the family is in desperate need of reliable transportation. Their current vehicle is inadequate for a single father with five children, and reliable transportation is essential for Andrew to take care of his family's needs—from doctor appointments to school activities.

Any remaining funds will help provide stability during this impossible transition, covering immediate living expenses as Andrew navigates this new reality of being both parents to five grieving children.

A Community of Support

No amount of money can ease the pain of losing Rosa and Tony, but your generosity can help lessen the financial burden that compounds their grief. Every donation, no matter the size, represents a hand reaching out to hold this family up when they need it most.

Please consider sharing this campaign with your friends and family. Together, we can surround Andrew and his children with the support they need to face each day ahead.

Thank you for your compassion, your prayers, and your generosity during this heartbreaking time.

With profound gratitude,
Victoria Rainey; Sister/ Aunt

All funds will go directly to Andrew to cover funeral expenses for Rosa and baby Tony, provide reliable family transportation, and support immediate living expenses during this transition.
