Hello everyone, as you all may know, back on August 23, 2025, I had a baby boy named Elijah who was born with anencephaly and only lived 41 minutes. When we buried my son, they told us the plaque to put on his grave would be $2000-$3000. I didn't have that kind of money, so I decorated my son's grave with little toys and small decorations. The last time I went to visit, everything was fine. Until this Saturday, I went to visit my little angel to find out they removed everything off his area, absolutely everything. They only left the dirt that covered his casket. Apparently, we can't have anything there until we buy a plaque. I was honestly so upset because how could they just leave him like that, take all his toys away, and throw away all the decorations we had gotten for him without even letting us know? It's heartbreaking because if I could buy him a plaque instantly, I would, but I'm only 15 and I only work on the weekends. Little by little, I'm trying to save up so he won't just be left there with a bunch of dirt. It breaks my heart how they can be so cruel to take everything away from him, knowing not everyone can afford a $2k-$3k plaque. I thank everyone who helped me with the burial of my son, and I hope I can get a little bit of help getting my son a plaque so they can stop taking his things away and destroying them.
