Sharing in the Love and Loss of Annabelle Hope
Donation protected
On April 29 ANNABELLE HOPE was born to Brandon and Kristen Ironside ... she lived for just 40 minutes.
This, however, was not unexpected: In January doctors regretfully informed Brandon and Kristen that Annabelle was developing without kidneys — and therefore, without functional lungs. Emergency consultations and many medical appointments over the coming months did not change the prognosis. Yet Brandon and Kristen believed that God had a purpose in this and were committed to carrying Annabelle to term if it was God’s will.
Amazingly, soon after receiving the devastating news, Kristen felt compelled to share the story of their journey, their struggles, and their faith through a beautiful blog about Annabelle. It continues to be her hope that sharing this will help and encourage others who are facing similar trials. <https://fearfullyandwonderfullymade946259942.wordpress.com/2019/01/17/in-an-instant/>.
It is our hope that this fundraiser will assist with some of their unexpected expenses:
- Kristen is losing several weeks of work
- funeral and burial related expenses
- specialty medical expenses
- restricted summer employment
- recovery/counseling expenses
Brandon and Kristen Ironside will be the sole beneficiaries of this fundraising endeavor and the funds will be dispensed as they are donated.
Please consider how you might help this young family.
Thank you.
