Hi, I'm Matt Steichen, brother to Andrew and Desiree. I am setting up this account so that those who wish to help cover some of their expenses for Aurora may contribute to it.

Funds will be used for medical, funeral and any other related expenses.

In Loving Memory of Aurora L. Steichen

Aurora Lee Steichen was born on Dec. 21, 2023 to Andrew and Desiree Steichen, the same day as her great-grandfather's passing four years earlier. Aurora was named after a song written by Andrew and named by Desiree in picturing stars dancing in the night sky like Aurora Borealis. Though her time was short, she was loved and cherished every moment by all who knew her, and was an immense grace and blessing in our lives. From hand hugs to diaper changes, Aurora showed us that life happens in the smallest and quickest of moments and that we can all offer love in such moments. Aurora passed around midnight the night of January 3rd, the NASA picture of the day was of SAR (stable auroral red) arc.

Note: used for the cover of this go fund me so you can view it.

God is surely watching over her, for this sign is too far-fetched to call coincidence. We would like to thank all those who loved her and prayed for her, especially the St. Cloud Hospital NICU staff who's love and dedication gave us this time with our daughter. May you rest peacefully Aurora.
