Alicia is my best friend, and she is facing a heartbreaking loss that no parent should ever have to endure. At 39 weeks pregnant, Alicia lost her baby and delivered him last night. This devastating tragedy has left her and her loved ones in deep grief as they try to process the pain of losing a child so close to his arrival. Right now, Alicia needs time, space, and support to mourn and begin to heal from this unimaginable loss.

I am creating this fundraiser to help ease some of the financial stress Alicia is carrying during this painful time. The funds raised will go toward funeral costs and help cover time away from work so she can focus on grieving, recovering, and being surrounded by the people who love her. If you are able, please consider donating or sharing this fundraiser. Please also keep Alicia in your thoughts and prayers. Any support, no matter the size, will mean so much as she faces the days ahead.
