Support for Zachary, Julianna, and Grayson

These three beautiful children, Zachary (age 12), Julianna (age 8), and Grayson (age 6), lost their father, James, unexpectedly on August 5th, the day before Grayson's 6th birthday. These children loved and adored him. He was everything to them, and now, after losing their pop-pop on May 6th, they've now lost their dad. This leaves their mom, Lauren, and Mimi, Melanie, to raise them without the love of their dad.

With no life insurance or financial gain to help them pay for funeral expenses, school shopping, and things to come, this should not have to be. The only thing we should be concentrating on is these beautiful kids who are heartbroken with the sudden loss of the man they loved so much.

James brought so much fun and laughter to their lives. Love that only a father can give and although their mom and Mimi can love them with their whole hearts, they can never give them what their dad did. But knowing these two women, they will do everything in their power to protect their hearts and love them and make up for the loss of the daddy they'll never see again. It would be wonderful to take a little off their plates so they can concentrate on that.

This family has been through so much in the last year. They're so grateful for all the help that was given and love that was received in the loss of their grandfather, Melanie's husband. And just when things seemed as if they were going to be okay, this huge unexpected loss has come into their lives once again. They are left picking up pieces of little hearts they can't repair, and we would just like to help them through this and take some financial burden away. Let them focus on Zachary, Julianna, and Grayson and what they will need in the upcoming months, and not have to fall behind on any bills trying to pay for funeral expenses and getting them ready to start their first day of school without their daddy.

These children have been through so much. Both Melanie and Lauren are so grateful for their friends and family and all in any support that is given and has been given. Please keep these babies in your prayers and hope for good days to come. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all the support that can be given through this horrible turn of events that has come across their lives and hearts.
