My brother and the mother to my beautiful niece, Kirby, are facing an unimaginable loss. My precious 2-month-old niece, Kirby, passed away after bravely battling meningitis, group B strep, and sepsis. Even though we caught it early, Kirby endured several seizures caused by the bacteria in her brain, which led to 75% of her brain cells dying. She also suffered a stroke due to the overwhelming infection and seizures. We did everything we could, but the challenges were too great for baby girl.

We don't usually ask for help, but our family has been through so much these last few years. I know money can't fix anything, but I want to ease one burden where I can. People want to help, so here is a way you can help. Funeral expenses have been covered but the emotional toll is immense and I'm trying to relieve what I can for my brother and Audrey to help them focus on healing and honoring Kirby's memory. Your kindness and generosity can make a difference as they navigate this heartbreaking time.

Thank you for your love, support, thoughts, and prayers from friends, family, and the community. Any help you can offer will be a source of comfort and hope as we move forward.
