On August 22nd, Chelsey and Danny welcomed their twins, Josie and Noah. Josie was born healthy, while Noah came into the world unresponsive. The medical team was able to revive him and get a heartbeat, and this brave little boy fought with incredible strength. Sadly, despite his fight, Noah passed away the following day.

The Hettema family is a beacon of light in the community—selfless, giving, and loved by so many. They are facing every parent’s greatest heartbreak: mourning the loss of their precious Noah while simultaneously celebrating the blessing of their beautiful daughter, Josie, who is now home surrounded by love from her big sisters, Rylie and Bailey.

As they walk through this unimaginable season, we as a community wanted to put this GoFundMe together to lift the financial burden and remove any extra stress. All donations will go directly to Chelsey and Danny, giving them the space to heal as a family and grieve the loss of their angel boy. Noah’s memory will live on—forever spoken of, remembered, cherished, and deeply loved.
