Help The Garners' with medical and funeral costs
Donation protected
Heather and Tim are some amazing people and have been through so much. They are both nurses and have been working crazy hours over the last year, but managed to get pregnant! They have been praying and hoping for this miracle for many years. Sadly they encountered complications early on in the pregnancy and Heather had to be hospitalized for at least a month and endure multiple procedures to save their daughter (Maddi). Despite all the efforts unfortunately Maddi could not be saved. We are all very devastated by this loss, such a precious angel taken from such deserving parents too soon. Anything you could spare to donate to help them cover funeral and medical bills would be greatly appreciated. Heather has been out of work for over a month, so that has taken a toll on their financial situation. Tim has only been able to work here and there due to emergency situations that kept arising during the pregnancy. If you do not feel comfortable donating through here but would like to still help, please feel free to reach out to myself/Tim or Heather. Thank you everyone for support/thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
Below is Heather's summary of events:
On Thursday Feb 18, I became really sick, really fast and had to be stat transferred to Barnes for an emergent C-section at only 23 weeks pregnant.
Our precious Madilynn Danielle Garner was born at 1033 pm, weighing only 1 lb and 3.8 Oz, and was immediately intubated and taken to the NICU for stabilization. Unfortunately, after several setbacks, her little body just wasn’t ready yet and we lost our sweet Maddi girl on Friday Feb 19 at 630 pm. We had her baptized before she passed and we got to hold her as she went to Heaven. She was so beautiful.
Tim and I are absolutely devastated, and we have so many questions as to why?! This is so unfair. We don’t understand and maybe we never will. Apparently the Lord needed her more than we did and we have to keep the faith that He had a bigger plan.
So please continue to pray for our strength and healing as we try to figure out how to grieve and move forward. We have been through hell and back, but we will get through it. One day at a time.
