My name is Mandy, and I am reaching out to you to help my cousin, who is facing an unthinkable heartbreak. To help support my cousin and her family during an unimaginably difficult time.

My dear cousin is just a few weeks away from giving birth and is facing the profoundly painful journey of preparing to say goodbye to her first-born child, Ava Maria, who has been diagnosed with Anencephaly. This rare condition means little Ava's time with us will be heartbreakingly short, expected to be just up to ten precious hours after her birth. No parent should have to prepare for such a loss.

As she prepare for this inevitable loss, my cousin wants to give Ava Maria the dignity of a burial. A cremation feels unbearable for her grieving heart.

In times of unimaginable heartache, unfortunately, the burden of burial costs adds to this emotional ordeal. Your contributions will go directly towards giving Ava a resting place where her family can visit and remember this precious life that touched our hearts so deeply, in such a short amount of time. Every donation, regardless of size, will bring us closer to honoring Ava Maria in the way she deserves.

Our support will mean so much to her, amidst this profound sorrow. From the bottom of my heart, my family and I thank you for your kindness in helping alleviate some of the burden and may your generosity be met with blessings.
