Kylee and Eli Michael are facing the unimaginable heartbreak no parent should ever endure, the loss of their precious baby boy, Theo Shepherd Michael.

Theo was born on April 8, at just 22 weeks gestation, weighing only 1lb, 3oz. Though his life was brief, he was deeply loved every moment he was here. After fighting bravely for three days, sweet Theo passed away on April 11, surrounded by the love of his parents.

Kylee and Eli are now walking through the hardest days of their lives, grieving the loss of their son while carrying the emotional, physical, and financial burdens that come with such devastating tragedy. The last thing they should have to worry about right now is money.

As they take time away from work to mourn and begin healing, they are facing:

We are asking for prayers for Kylee and Eli, for comfort, strength, peace, and God’s presence to surround them in the midst of overwhelming sorrow. We are also asking for financial support. If you feel led to give, any amount will help lighten the burden they are carrying.

Your generosity will allow Kylee and Eli the space to grieve their son without the added weight of financial stress.

Thank you for surrounding this family with love, prayer, and support as they mourn the loss of their beautiful baby boy.
