Beth and Kyle received the devastating news at their 18 week anatomy scan that their Little Star AFP levels were very high, indicating something was very wrong. And it was. She has limb body wall complex (LBWC) which means her insides are on her outside, tangled and meshed with the placenta. It’s not a condition that is compatible with life. They had an appointment to talk about termination for medical reasons, because they don’t want her to suffer anymore, and she would if we carried her to term, if she didn’t die inside before then. It’s not genetic, just a freak development gone wrong. A 0.0006% chance of this happening, and it happened to them.

The funds raised here will be given directly to Beth and Kyle for medical expenses for the abortion and aftercare, provide comfort, stability, help with monthly bills as Beth physically and emotionally begins the healing process while being off of work, and anything left over will go toward potential future IVF treatment.

A note from Beth:

Heartbroken doesn’t begin to capture how we feel. Please don’t ask us to reach out if we need anything. We are numb and barely able to meet each other’s needs right now. We love you all. Check in on us if you think of it. There is a meal train that friends of ours can share the link to. Thank you for all the love you have shown us and Little Star through all of this. ⭐️
