Support Natalie & Jacob after their heartbreaking loss

Natalie & Jacob welcomed their second baby earth side on April 5th 2025. Warner Jacob Walker came in to the world at 35.3 weeks gestation after a cascade of events to which no one has much of an answer for. Natalie was very sick in the days leading up to Warners birth. After 4 days in the hospital, getting steroids for baby’s lungs as well as multiple iron and blood transfusions, a failed induction and ultimately a c-section, sweet Warner was finally here. Due to Warren being born before 36 weeks, he was required to be under NICU care. The hospital they were at was under NICU diversion so he was transported to NICU across town and remained there for 7 days…..mainly for feeding/weight gain. During this time Jacob never left the hospital and was at Warner’s side as much as possible. Natalie was continuing to be cared for at a hospital across town for several more days as they tried to get her stable enough to be discharged. After 4 days she was finally reunited with her precious baby boy.

On day 7 Warner was given a clean bill of health and discharged home. During this time he was loved on by family, seen by his pediatrician & cared for so well by his parents and grandparents. Less than 48 hours after arriving home, Warner started not eating well and his temperature began to drop. Natalie and Jacob quickly took him in to the ER for assessment and he was flown to Birmingham for a high level of care. Over the next several days Warner fought an unknown infection while his parents & community spoke prayers over him and his family. Warner received his ultimate healing, and on Wednesday April 16th (at 11 days old) he entered Heavens gates and is now in Jesus’s arms.

Natalie is still very very sick, and there are no clear answers as to what exactly is going on, or why these events have happened. She is going to continue to need care as the doctors try to get to the bottom of her health issues. Jacob is out of work caring for his family. There will be many financial needs as they prepare to celebrate baby Warren’s short yet very impactful life here on Earth as well as providing for their family while they are not able to work.

Natalie & Jacob are strong Christians who know God will provide. We want to circle up around them and help financially contribute as they navigate the next several days, weeks & months to come.

If you can give financially, it would be greatly appreciated. If you can’t, please flood the gates of heaven for peace, understanding, answers & healing for this amazing family.
