Support the Haendle Family in Their Time of Loss

Hi, my name is Jordan Fleck and I've created this GoFundMe to help the Haendle family with funeral & medical costs as they face this difficult time grieving the loss of their baby boy.

At 38 weeks, Griffin Joshua was born on 3/3/2025 around 5pm but was tragically delivered stillborn. Josh and Stephanie are now facing the most painful loss a parent could ever endure. Instead of leaving the hospital with their beautiful baby boy in their arms, they departed with a keepsake box. As they try to find the strength & patience to navigate the coming weeks & months as a family, we would like to help alleviate any additional stress & burdens from them. This unfortunately may include financial burdens such as hospital bills & funeral planning. The last thing they should have to worry about right now are bills and funds to help honor the memory of their son. Even if you can only donate $5 or bless them with $100, every little bit will help.

If you are unable to financially support them at this time, would you please cover them in prayer? Prayer for patience, understanding, guidance on how to move forward, energy emotionally & physically to pour into their two amazing daughters and a peace only God can provide in the midst of something so tragic. Prayer for their marriage to grow stronger & remain steady, rooted in the Lord.

We thank you so much in advance for supporting the Haendle family. We know God will carry them through this one day at a time. If you would like to donate to them outside of GoFundMe, please see below for Stephanie's Venmo details.

For those that maybe don't know the story, below is what Josh & Steph shared on social media:

I had a routine 38 week appointment on 2/28 and everything checked out. He was fine. Saturday was a normal day. On Sunday, March 2nd I began to grow concerned throughout the day that I hadn't felt him move. What was once our hyperactive baby was suddenly still. Later in the evening, after putting the girls to bed, we decided to go to the hospital to have him checked out. For peace of mind obviously, because everything was fine.

In the triage room, it was discovered that his heart was no longer beating.

A long induction process was started later that night and he was delivered the next day.

We have so many questions, but will never have answers. Though we know our baby boy is waiting for us in heaven, we would have much rather had him here with us.

We ask for patience, understanding and prayer as we navigate these next few weeks/months. As we grieve what we spent 9 months preparing for and mourn what should have been. How our year should have looked. As we learn how to move forward with our two little girls who need us too.

With love,

Josh, Steph, Adeline, and Ariadne
