Help with 5 month old Lehlani's funeral expenses
Donation protected
The day before Valentine's Day, on February 13, 2019, 23 year old Vanisa was delivered a special gift; a bright blue-eyed baby girl; Lehlani Leigh.
Lehlani was a happy baby. Her grandmother, Jessica, says she just loved to listen to the baby giggles. "She just had this place on her neck and if you would kiss her, she would just giggle."
With those bright blue eyes, which were the same eyes her mother has; it was a good thing that Lehlani had two older adoring brothers (ages 2 and 3).
Unfortunately on July 31, 2019 tragedy struck for this family.
Lehlani was sick and running a fever. She was taken first to Fostoria Hospital, where she experienced respiratory distress and the decision was made to Life Flight her to Toledo Children's Hospital. During the flight, she coded.
Toledo planned to Life Flight her to U of M's children's hospital; however Lehlani needed to be stable for at least ten minutes before the trip could take place.
That ten minutes didn't come, and at 2:05 AM, August 1, 2019, Lehlani Leigh passed away.
Now this family will be burdened with not only unspeakable loss, deprived of a future of Lehlani's giggles, and the chance to see who she would become, but also unexpected funeral expenses.
It can cost an average of $8,000-10,000 to bury an infant.
Her funeral will take place at Colden-Crates Funeral Home in Findlay, and Vanisa would like to have her daughter buried close to home at the Fostoria Cemetary.
The family needs help to offset the cost burying this seven month old angel. Please donate to help pay for the cost of the casket, the services and a funeral plot.
