Help Us Honor Ariah's Memory

On December 6, a piece of my heart went to heaven. Ariah passed away in a tragic accident. I can’ begin to express the pain my family is in after her absence. The emptiness she has left is unbearable . The last time I saw her was at 1:40 pm when I dropped her off before work. She spent the afternoon with her grandparents building a a play farm and playing outside. I received a call shortly before 6 to notify me that her body was found unresponsive in the neighbors pool. CPR was done by my dad ,police, and paramedics. But nothing could be done to bring her back. Had I known fate had this in store, I would have held on to my sweet girl and never let go. She was a happy, giggly child, always exploring and learning. She had finally started to say a few words and was learning to sing. She would clap and say, “Good job!” She loved animals, her favorite being ducks and frogs. She loved being outdoors and running in the yard.

Ariah was born at 33 weeks via emergency C-section with her twin sister, Allison. She fought so hard to be born after a complicated pregnancy and continued to fight while in her NICU stay at the hospital, only to be taken from us so soon and unexpectedly. Her dimpled smile captured the hearts of all those who knew her.

We kindly ask for your support in order to raise enough to bury and honor her.
