Help Riley's Family Navigate This Tragic Loss
Donation protected
I never thought I would have to use this platform to help one of my kids. Sadly, here we are. Tuesday, I got a terrible call that my grandson had passed away. My first born's first born had unexpectedly not woken up. As we gathered our stuff and headed to Reno to help him and his wife navigate the worst days of their life, we had many questions. Many of them won't be answered for months.
Riley was born 7 weeks early, not breathing on September 17 2023, but a fighter he was. He ended up hospitalized with RSV and pneumonia on January 24, but still, he fought. He was happy and healthy and loved by all. He had caught up in size and was on track developmentally. Riley was just beginning to crawl, sitting himself up and eating new foods. He has 2 older sisters and many cousins, grandparents, aunts, and uncles who will miss him dearly.
What I'm asking is for help for this young family to continue to get by while dealing with the terrible loss. There are many expenses that are still unforeseen that I'm hoping this will lighten the blow for them. Please share far and wide. If you can, please also keep them in your thoughts and prayers. This family needs all the love and light that can be directed their way.
As a family, they will get through, they will put their boy at rest and learn to navigate the worst time of their lives.
Thank you, everyone.
