Linebaugh Family Support Fund

The sweet Linebaugh family has been through the ringer. After multiple miscarriages they were overjoyed to be pregnant again and this time it stuck past the scary early weeks. Donna quickly became very ill with severe hyperemis. As the main breadwinner for her family (not to discount Jerald, he saves lives as a firefighter / AEMT all over Utah County), but they don’t pay much for that) she has been unable to work for 2 months on unpaid leave. Soon home health was required and brought even more expenses. They were looking forward to hitting 20 weeks and hoped that it would bring healthier times. Sunday Donna’s health got worse and it was decided that she needed emergency gallbladder surgery Monday morning. All went well and they did frequent checks on the baby including on Tuesday morning. Tuesday afternoon she had another ultrasound where it was discovered that the baby had no heartbeat. Nothing can describe that devastation. To go through all of that suffering to not have that baby in the end is heartbreaking and discouraging. She is resting and trying to recover from surgery so she can deliver the baby, which is required based on how far along she was. They named him Jacob Miller Linebaugh and are deciding final resting places. After all of this they will go home to all of the bills and finances that need to be caught up on. They are grateful for all of the service and prayers that they have received. Every penny graciously given will go towards medical expenses, Jacob’s final resting place expenses and whatever else is needed.
