My name is Mariah, and I am reaching out during the most difficult time of my life. My 1-month-old baby, Luca, has suffered severe brain damage that was not detected by an MRI. After being off sedation for two days, he still hasn’t woken up. His movements are limited and repetitive, and his arms and hands remain clenched. The doctors are unsure of the exact cause, but they believe that having coronavirus may have played a role in what happened to him. Despite every effort, there is nothing more that can be done to help him, and we have made the heartbreaking decision to let him go.

As we prepare to say goodbye to Luca, we are facing the unexpected costs of his memorial. The funds raised will go directly toward memorial expenses, helping our family honor his memory and find some peace during this unimaginable loss. Any support, no matter how small, would mean the world to us as we navigate this painful journey.

Thank you for reading our story and for any kindness or support you can offer. Your generosity will help us give Luca the loving farewell he deserves.
