My name is Danjel, and I’m reaching out during the most difficult time of my life. My son, Loyal Danjel Rhodes, was a happy, handsome, and strong baby. He was quiet, but I could already tell he would grow up to be funny and bring so much joy to those around him. Loyal’s time with us was far too short, and his passing has left a hole in our hearts that can never be filled.

Loyal’s cause of death is still being determined, but it appears he may have been taken by SIDS. The shock and pain of losing him is something I can’t put into words. I’m hoping to raise funds to give Loyal the funeral he deserves, to support his mother as she grieves, and to help me find a support group for fathers who have experienced this kind of loss. Your support would not only help us honor Loyal’s memory, but also provide comfort and resources to our family during this unimaginable time.

I can’t express how much your donations would mean to us. After such grief and loss, any help would be a true gift. I want to honor my son’s legacy in the best way possible, and your support would make that possible. If you’re willing to stand with us and honor Loyal’s memory, I would appreciate it more than words can say.
