My daughter, Alana Rose Bobbett, lived a short but beautiful life—only six months. She had the most beautiful red hair and the biggest smile I’ve ever seen. Alana is dearly missed by her three sisters and three brothers, and our family will always cherish the time we had with her.
When Alana passed away, I missed several weeks of work to be with my family and handle the funeral arrangements. The costs of the funeral and everything that came with it took everything I had out of savings. Now, I’m behind on rent and bills, and I still haven’t been able to get her a headstone. It breaks my heart that her grave is unmarked.
I work 48 hours a week to support my five kids living at home, but with how high everything is right now—gas, groceries, and bills—I just can’t seem to catch up. Any support would help us stay in our home, provide a gravestone for Alana, and cover essential expenses. Thank you for reading our story and considering helping my family honor Alana’s memory.
