Support Blake and Twins After Tragic Loss

On April 9, 2025 my precious niece and nephew made their early, sudden, and unexpected arrival. What should have been a solely joyous occasion, rapidly took a devastating and traumatic turn. My brother Michael Blake DeLacerda and our family experienced the most unimaginable heartbreak. Suzanne, a dedicated, devoted, and loving mother and soulmate for my brother, tragically lost her life due to complications from childbirth.

Blake is absolutely shattered but he’s trying his best to gather the pieces for the babies sake. We are all rallying together to help give them the best start possible, but we need your help! With them being much earlier than expected we are pretty much starting from scratch.

Any funds raised will go directly toward:

• Immediate baby care needs (diapers, formula, clothing, etc.)

• Travel and food expenses for Blake while he’s out of work and helping care for the babies in the NICU.

• Ongoing childcare and support

• A trust or savings for the twins’ future

We will also share an Amazon gift registry and happily be accepting gift cards and Venmo contributions as alternative options.

No amount is too small—every donation helps and every share means the world to us! We are committed to honoring Suzanne’s memory by giving her babies a future filled with love, security, and opportunity.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
