Love & Support For The Wilkinsons

Donation protected
Lauren & Wil were married in August 2017 and eager to start a family. They were excited to learn they were pregnant in January 2018  and over the moon when they found out they were expecting twin boys. Throughout her pregnancy Lauren gushed over her excitement to meet her sons and the years to come with them running around and giving her a run for her money. Even though there were days when she literally did nothing but vomit she focused all her thoughts and energy on her children. She customized her nursery, stocked up on matching outfits and ensuring they had Philadelphia Eagles décor. Lauren was the epitome of an excited expectant mother full of beauty, grace and passion.

On September 18th Lauren arrived at the hospital for her scheduled induction. Unfortunately, upon arriving at the hospital they learned of several medical issues that directly impacted the lives of her sons. All funds raised will go to support Lauren and Wil as they now have massive medical expenses, funeral services (if they elect to proceed in this direction) and other expenses as they heal through this tragic event. Please continue to pray for this young family. Thank you for your support!

Here is the story from the beautiful Lauren <3 

Two empty cribs and no babies inside.

I don’t even know where to begin or how to wake up from the nightmare my husband and I have been living. The last 8 days have been the most tortuous and trying times of our lives. The amount of pain we are feeling is immeasurable and there is no words to describe this feeling. It feels like a cold black emptiness that consumes your soul body and mind. You often question if you will ever be whole again.

As many of you know my husband and I have been expecting twin boys this September. Our angel babies were scheduled to be born on September 18th at 37 weeks plus 2 .

After shortly arriving to the hospital doctors could not locate the heart beat of baby B. I was given an emergency C section under general anesthesia immediately.

Dylan was born 6 lbs 8oz and 19.5 inches.
Carter was stillborn 8lbs 14 oz and 19.5 inches

After waking up from surgery I was given the tragic news that Baby B did not make it and Baby A suffered from catastrophic brain damage. We have no answers at this time on what happened inside the womb.

Dylan spent 7 days in the Nicu and we had the opportunity to hold him, kiss him, snuggle him, give him a bath, read him books and give him all the love he deserves. At 1:26 am on September 26th our sweet son passed away in my arms. He was called home to god and joined his twin brother in heaven.

Dylan has been approved by gift of life as a heart valve donor. Our sweet little boys donation can save two other families from dealing with this devastation. Even though we can’t bring our son home we have given hope so others can.

Even through this dark journey our friends families and even strangers have given us hope. We wanted to thank everyone near and far for the outpouring of prayers support and donations. We would not be able to get through this treacherous time without all of you.
