Help the Verrips Family

Donation protected
I created this gofundme for my sister Amanda and her family. The Verrips Family relocated to California from Rhode Island in March of 2018 after Mike got out of the Navy. They were 20 weeks pregnant with their 3rd child and everything was going great. They were staying with family until the birth of their child and planned to move shortly after.  In the middle of June the Verrips Family found out their daughter Landynn Everly had abnormal brain growth when Amanda went in for a non-stress test. After a week of ultrasounds, MRIs, and genetic visits with doctors they discovered she had an Intracranial Teratoma (the rarest kind of brain tumor) that was inoperable. At 35 weeks pregnant Amanda had to have an emergency c-section because Landynn's head was too large and she was not swallowing amniotic fluid. Landynn was born on June 14, 2018 at 8:55 PM and lived for 52 hours despite the doctors anticipating she would be stillborn. She died on Father's Day 2018 at 12:55 AM. The Verrips family was able to meet her, love on her, and pray for her during her short time on Earth. Amanda has been a pillar of strength and has dealt with her grief in such a touching and positive way.  She has had non-stop faith in God and His plan her and her family's life. She has shared her grief journey on instagram as a way to give others hope. A few weeks ago they received message after message from friends, family, and strangers asking how they could help but they did not know what their immediate needs were. They still have not moved into a more permanent home and other needs have surfaced in recent weeks. I would greatly love and appreciate if you can give any amount to help support them during this difficult season of finding out their baby was going to die shortly after birth. If you can not donate can you please share this and pray for them? This has changed their lives in such an intimate and tragic way.  Thank you.
