Help costs of a memorial service for Levi Hughes

October 21 Update: I have been absolutely amazed at the love and support that so many people have shown me over the last little while, I cannot express how thankful I am to everyone. Levi's ashes are now home and planning for a memorial service is underway. Details to be announced.

October 14 Update: Thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone for supporting my family through this devastating loss. As I don't actually know yet what the total cost will be for everything I set the original goal of $1500 as a starting point, and thanks to everyone's love and support we have already surpassed that number, but I would like to keep raising money to give my sweet boy the best service possible and I will also be ordering special plaques and other memorial items for both Levi and Liam. Again, thank you to everyone

Hello, my name is Rylea and I am hoping to raise money to help cover the costs for my late son Levi Oliver Hughes.

Levi was born at 28 weeks gestation on April 2, 2023 after we lost his twin brother Liam a month prior. After spending 65 days in the NICU he came home and life was perfect. He had to overcome many challenges but he was so strong and fought with all of his and Liam's strength combined.

For months we waited for him to get a hernia repair surgery done, which finally happened on October 6, 2023. He came back home and seemed to be doing well. However, on Thanksgiving Monday October 9, 2023, at only 6 months old, Levi passed away and was reunited with his brother.

I won't have an official cause of death for months as we are waiting for results to come back. For the time being all I can do is bring Levi home and do my best to celebrate and remember his life every day.

I am asking for help to cover the costs of bringing Levi home and holding a memorial service for all who loved him. Any amount is greatly appreciated. From the bottom of my and Aria's hearts, thank you for supporting us through this tragedy.
