In Loving Memory of Julian Michael Balles
Donation protected
Julian Michael Balles was born at 31 weeks on January 6, 2019 at 2lbs 14oz. His lungs were vastly underdeveloped, and he was not breathing at first when he was born. By the Grace of God they were able to revive him, but he was left in critical condition and hooked up to a ventilator immediately to breathe for him. He fought incredibly hard for 24 hours and unfortunately was called to Heaven to be with his Mom Mom and Pop Pop at 11:30pm on January 7, 2019.
Julian’s parents, Morgan and Michael have been through a lot in the past 5 years. Morgan lost her mother (my Aunt Rhonda) to cancer in 2015, they had their first child (my god-daughter Journey) 11 days after her mother passed away, had 3 miscarriages between 2016 and 2017, lost Morgan’s father (my Uncle Kenny) in 2017, had their second child, Jayce, at 33 weeks in 2018 (who luckily survived and is now a healthy baby boy), and they are now dealing with the loss of a child in 2019.
As most of you know, when you lose a loved one you are responsible for the extensive costs associated with a funeral and burial expenses. With such a sudden and unexpected loss, Morgan and Michael are not financially prepared by any means to give Julian the proper burial that any child deserves. We are reaching out to our family and friends that have been there as incredible emotional supporters for Morgan and Michael through this traumatic time. It’s very clear that they are truly loved by many and will continue to be surrounded by love. If you guys can donate any amount, no matter how small, to help them give Julian a beautiful funeral, Morgan and Michael would be forever grateful. Please do not feel pressured to donate, and if you can’t we’re just asking that you share this page with your friends and prayers for the family are also greatly appreciated. Thank you so much!!!!
