My son Joey is facing the unimaginable. Just hours after a very traumatic labor and delivery, and after nearly losing their newborn, Joey’s wife and the love of his life, Audrey, suddenly passed away. We still don’t have answers—her heart simply stopped, and despite every effort, she could not be revived. The shock and pain are overwhelming for our family, and especially for Joey, who is now left to raise his baby alone while grieving this devastating loss.

We are now facing unexpected funeral expenses, and Joey will need time off work to grieve and care for his newborn. There may also be significant costs for an autopsy, as we search for answers and closure about Audrey’s passing. The financial burden is heavy, and every bit of support will help Joey focus on healing and caring for his child during this heartbreaking time.

Please, if you can find it in your heart to help my son, we would be forever grateful. Your support—whether through a donation or by sharing this fundraiser—means the world to us. Prayers and kind thoughts are also deeply appreciated as we navigate this unimaginable loss.
