Baby Roman Funeral Expenses
Donation protected
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, especially these. At this moment, we ask that you please allow the family time for grievance. We know there will be questions and they will all be answered in due time. The following is from my wife ,Cindi Rivas, Ariel's aunt:
As a mother myself I CANNOT begin to imagine the pain of losing a child or even wrap my head around having to labor and deliver a still born baby, knowing ahead of time your child has passed. What strength that must take! Yet this is just what our sweet and incredibly strong Ariel and her husband, Melvin are going through right now. Ariel, 8 months pregnant with her first child, due in December had been having stomach pains for the previous few days. Calls to Dr. were answered with, "just rest and take some Tylenol". Well, when her pain intensified late last night, 11/4 she and Melvin went to the ER. The doctors searched for a heartbeat for little baby Roman, found nothing. So they did an ultrasound and that unfortunately confirmed every pregnant mothers worst nightmare, Baby Roman had passed away while inside the womb (cause is still unknown). Baby shower had been given, soon to be mom, dad anxiously awaiting the arrival of their first born son in about a months time, so happy and excited, and now all of that is plagued with planning a funeral for their child.
As a family we have created this gofundme account for them to pay for baby Roman's funeral expenses and the expenses they will incur from loss of work while they deal with this horrific loss.
Please, please pray for healing and strength for Ariel (mom), Melvin (dad) and our entire family and amazing circle of friends. RIP precious baby Roman you will always hold a special place in all of our hearts. To what Brandy calls her "Village" this is her daughter....any and all donations, big or small will help immensely. Thank you all!
