The Crawford family experienced devastating heartache when their newest addition, Michael Joseph Crawford, left this world on August 12th, 2023 at 4:15pm.

Loren and Randy are two of the kindest, sweetest people I know, as I’m sure so many of you can also attest to. During this difficult time, there are so many costs that they will have to deal with from medical costs to funeral costs, and everything in between. I am setting up this GoFundMe to help Loren and Randy not have to worry about those costs, which will hopefully make this unbearable time slightly more manageable. Whether you can donate $5 or $50, every little bit helps.

From Loren and Randy:

This past Monday Loren and I welcomed our second son Michael into the world. He was born with what appeared to be many congenital birth defects that have not yet been confirmed. We learned about these challenges Michael would have at our 20 week ultrasound, however, after many tests and doctors appointments our doctors were not able to confirm exactly what was going on.

The doctors and nurses at AdventHealth did everything they could to help our little Michael. The amount of compassion and the level of care they provided was superb. Unfortunately we ran into challenges that could not be resolved.

Michael Joseph Crawford peacefully passed away on Saturday (8/12) surrounded by family. Loren and I are so thankful that we had the opportunity to love our son over the past week. This is the most difficult thing we have and most likely always will face in our life. Please pray for us and keep us in your thoughts as we navigate this difficult time.

8/14 Update: Through your unbelievable generosity, we hit the original goal in the first few hours! I've raised it in hopes that we can get all of their costs covered, not just some. Keep sharing!!!
