In memory of King Quincy

Many of you may know that Noalanii has been caring for her terminally ill twin baby boy, Quincy, for the past 5 years, after suffering the tragic loss of one twin while pregnant. The way she has navigated and continues to navigate this journey with exceptional grace is extraordinary.

It is with incredible sadness that we learn of Quincy’s recent passing. As he transitions into a peaceful place, alongside his twin brother, free of pain, we pray and yearn for Noalanii's peace and continued healing. Navigating this tragic loss and the only life she has known for the past 5 years will be a journey that is life long.

Noalanii deserves to be held, loved, cherished, and supported by everyone around her. In this time of deep devastation and grief, we are calling on Noalanii's friends and extended community to circle her with love and care. Together, we hope to provide her with the financial support to meet her needs.

In the midst of her grief, Noalanii must also pay medical debt for the care of Quincy, secure new housing, healing services, mental health care, nourishment, as well as finding moments of joy and self discovery and so much more. She urgently needs to take time off from work to attend to her well being.

We are asking YOU as a member of our beloved community to lean in and offer your help and support. Our goal is to raise $10,000 to enable Noalanii the space she needs to move forward.

Please give what you can, send your healing vibes, and share widely.

Noalanii has dedicated her entire life to caring for Quincy, providing him with the most loving, nurturing, and stable environment. It is because of her incredible commitment and character that Quincy has defied all odds and lived far beyond when medical professionals deemed he would survive. We have all watched Noalanii thrive in motherhood - from allowing Quincy to unapologetically rock his long curly hair, to anticipating every single one of his needs without needing verbal confirmation, to ensuring his continued comfort, to making major sacrifices to her own needs and, still, leaning into self-love and healing along the way. Caring so deeply for a son she knew would not surpass childhood is an unimaginable way to live - and Noalanii has done this with grace and strength, unwavering in her love and dedication.

Although healing is a life long journey for Noalanii, it doesn't have to be her only journey.

With gentle and tender love, we thank you; Noalanii's community.
