Supporting Our Friend Through Unimaginable Loss

Donation protected
After a full-term, healthy pregnancy and three exhausting days of labor, our dear friend Annika birthed a beautiful 10lb 3oz, 23" baby girl, Thyra Rhiannon, into the world on her anticipated due date with no heartbeat, a stillbirth with no chance of resucitation. The heartbreak and devastation is beyond what words can describe.

In the midst of this grief, the growing family of three is also facing job insecurity as work in the film industry ebbs and flows. This leaves them not only heartbroken, but also deeply vulnerable as they try to heal, stay together, and find their footing again.

A few of us who love them dearly have created this GoFundMe so they can receive the support they need in the weeks and months ahead.

Your donations will go directly toward:

  • Ceremony costs- flowers, urn, space rental
  • Postpartum care for Annika’s recovery after labor
  • Grief & loss therapy to help the family navigate unimaginable pain
  • Basic living expenses so they can take time together without the fear of financial strain

No amount is too small—every gesture helps surround them with the care, stability, and compassion they need right now.

Thank you for holding this family in your hearts, for checking in, and for giving in any way you can. Your love and kindness mean the world.

With gratitude,
Angelique, Katie, Samantha & Alexis
