In the wee hours of the morning on February 5th, Kelly and Josh were preparing to meet their daughter Ella. This much loved and longed for child would soon be in their arms. But expectant joy turned to a nightmare when Ella did not survive delivery. The grief is overwhelming, the loss is profound, and unthinkable.

Kelly and Josh are home now. While they physically and emotionally heal, costs are mounting. Hospital bills, funeral expenses, and Josh’s time off work while he supports Kelly, have left a deep financial hole, and I am hoping that we, as a community, can shoulder some of this burden for them.

While it is true that no amount of money can ease their pain, not having the additional stress of financial worries will help. Please give from your heart, in Ella's memory.
