With broken hearts, we share the unimaginable loss that Sam and Dani have experienced. At 40 weeks, after eagerly preparing to welcome their precious son, Bennett Nicholas, into the world, they were met instead with the devastating heartbreak of saying goodbye far too soon.

Sam and Dani’s journey to parenthood has been filled with both loss and resilience. Through it all, they have shown incredible strength and unwavering love as they build their family. Those who know them can attest to the joy they bring to others. Dani is one of the strongest, kindest, and most selfless women you could ever meet—she pours her heart and soul into her family and friends. Sam is a man of strength, whose deep care for others and steadfast commitment to his family shows his pure character. There are no two people more deserving of the joy of expanding their family.

This tragedy has not only brought profound grief but also unexpected financial burden. In addition to medical bills, they are now facing the heartbreaking costs of laying Bennett to rest.

We are creating this fundraiser to help ease some of that financial strain, so Sam and Dani can focus on grieving and healing without the added weight of these expenses in building their family. Any contribution—big or small—is an incredible gift of love and support during this deeply difficult time.

If you are asking yourself what can I do to support them during this tragic loss, please consider donating to support them in their family planning journey. Also, continue to surround Sam and Dani with the compassion they need as they navigate this unimaginable loss. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for keeping them, and baby Bennett, in your thoughts during this extremely difficult time.
