SUPPORT FOR THE LOSS OF NEWBORN RENLY BLAKE

Dear Friends,

Julie and Sam Lawrence lost their newborn baby girl, Renly Blake, on September 30th at 10:03pm. Read Julie's Own Words about Renly on IG

Julie is an incredible woman that has fought to take ownership over her own health her whole life and not let her Cystic Fibrosis define her story, even getting pregnant and maintaining a healthy pregnancy with Renly to term. Julie has been the main source of income for her family, allowing for her husband, Sam, to work full time in Ministry. Julie's inspiring story of fighting for her health and her family, and being a leader in the clean beauty movement has been shared on IG and resonated with thousands. She was recently recognized by her company in a video in which she shares her story (see below).

We, the friends of Julie and Sam, are asking for any amount of financial assistance you may be able to contribute to cover funeral expenses and living expenses as they grieve this most devastating loss of their baby girl. As a young couple, they have already given so much to their community and beyond and have been deeply committed to their work, yet not prepared for a blow as deep and devastating as this. They will soon face mounting bills and the hardships that follow laying a child to rest. Your donation will help give them the support they need to just be in their grief and healing without the threat of financial distress. Julie, in particular, will need to recover from a C Section, as well as take care of her own health. It's unimaginable to most of us to even comprehend what they must be going through. They will never stop loving, missing, and grieving for the loss of their baby girl, Renly. However, your donation will give them the time and financial support they will need to get through this dark time.
