Support for Vinny and Ally's Funeral Expenses

My name is Monica Begeman, I am a friend of Vinny & Ally. With their permission, I will be sharing their daughter Eloise's story.

On Tuesday, September 3rd, Ally had a scheduled OB appointment for a regular check-up, a routine visit that would unexpectedly change their lives forever. During her visit, the doctor was unable to detect a heartbeat, a situation that, based on Ally's past pregnancy, was deemed normal, but warranted further examination via ultrasound, scheduled for that Thursday. Unfortunately, during the ultrasound, Vinny and Ally received the devastating news that no parent ever wants to hear: their baby girl had passed away. Yet, in the midst of unimaginable grief, Vinny and Ally chose to proceed with giving birth, a selfless act that would allow them to hold their precious Eloise in their arms. On September 5th, at 5:04 am, Eloise was born.

Ally and Vinny’s courage was further tested as she suffered life-threatening complications after delivery, necessitating emergency surgery. After the surgery, Vinny, Ally, and their parents were granted the precious gift of holding Eloise, a moment of profound love, yet deep sadness. Though they are now navigating the dark waters of grief, they remain steadfast in their gratitude to God for sparing Ally's life, even as they mourn the passing of their beloved baby girl.

Vinny and Ally wish to pay a heartfelt tribute to Eloise by organizing a funeral, but unforeseen expenses have arisen. I would like to extend financial support to this remarkable family, hoping to ease their economic burden. I have taken into account both the funeral expenses and medical bills.

Thank you for any and all contributions. We will be attaching funeral information and Eloise’s obituary as those things become available. Hold your babies close - children are a blessing from the Lord, even if they are in Heaven. Ally and Vinny, along with their family, look forward to meeting Eloise in Heaven one day. There is hope and God’s plan is still good.
