Funeral expenses for Cameron Shade

No loss in life comes easy, but the loss of a child is unfathomable. And then imagine if you were the one faced with pulling that plug…

Sarah Rodriguez is a hardworking mother of 3 who is living this nightmare. Her 22 year old son, Cameron, has been on life support since last Saturday after having a seizure. The seizures led to cardiac arrest and his brain went without oxygen for a significant amount of time causing severe brain damage. The doctors are doing everything they can, but his prognosis is grim. He remains unresponsive and the doctors have encouraged Sarah to start thinking about compassionate care.

As mothers, our hearts are breaking for Sarah. This is a scenario that absolutely no one should ever have to live through. Please considering donating to her as she navigates this difficult time. We want her focus to remain on her difficult decisions at present and not how she will afford a funeral. Thank you for your love and compassion. Please pray for Sarah, Cameron, Cody, and Aerie.

We will continue to update this page as we get more information on Cameron❤️

Lastly, I want to share a fb post that Sarah shared about the love for her oldest son:

I have always loved your shy smile Cam, I love your face.

I have always loved your name,

Cameron Axel Shade…

Because it sounds like the name of someone famous. Also, Axel comes from our ancestors Viking blood as my father used to say.

I love your sweet and tender heart that you keep tucked under your bad ass exterior.

I love how much you love cats and how animals calm you and soothe your spirit.

I love how you love the music I used to play when you were a kid and I helped you find expression of yourself in it.

I love that you always wanted me to shop for your clothes with you because I was better at it and you liked everything I got for you over the years.

I love celebrating anything with you! You are the best person to watch open gifts! you get so excited and it’s contagious!

I loved that time last summer when you caught me eating a cookie out of the box and I had crumbs in my hair and you said I was the Cookie Monster and we laughed like crazy!!!

I love laughing with you!

Please keep praying that the lord will restore my boy to me.

22 years is not enough Cam, we need more laughter and we need more time to spend together. ❤️‍ I love you forever kid.
