Support in Giving Silas a Loving Farewell

My name is Vanessa. I’m a cousin of Baby Silas Pope and close friends with his mom Melissa. We are all devastated by Melissa and Jonathan’s heartbreaking loss of their baby boy Silas. Silas was born with a very rare genetic condition called UAB5 which only 30-40 people have been diagnosed with worldwide. If you have followed Silas’s story, you know just how hard he fought and how much joy he brought to everyone around him. However, unexpectedly yesterday morning, Silas gained his heavenly wings 3 days before his 1st birthday.

Since Melissa was not able to work from being Silas’s main caregiver, it was difficult for her to be prepared for the unexpected high cost of funeral services. We want to give sweet Silas the memorial he deserves, to honor his memory and say our last goodbyes. With permission from the family, I am currently asking for donations to help cover the cost of Silas’s funeral, and any other expenses that Melissa has during this hard time. If you find it in your heart to donate, I have made Melissa the beneficiary so all donations will go straight to her. Thank you all and God bless.
