Raija's Memorial Fund

Friday evening my cousin was called from work to come to the hospital. Upon arrival she discovered her beloved daughter hadn't been breathing and was badly beaten. Raija held on for as long as she could but her injuries were too severe. Raija Armoni Lynn Straight passed away on July 14, 2018, at eight months old, in Des Moines, IA. A young mothers' entire world was stolen from her and an unbelievably precious life taken. In a perfect world, my cousin would have picked her daughter up after work and continued living with her happy, beautiful baby girl. 

Our devastated family is asking for help and support in our time of need. Help us send off our angel! Help us get the justice she deserves!
