Beautiful Baby girl Melayna Renee's Memorial
Donation protected
Hi, my name is Courtney and it is with such heavy heart's that I am writing this right now. As many of you know Mariah my sister in law was pregnant with her first baby girl and due November 28th, 2022. On Sunday October 9th we had the most beautiful baby shower to help Mariah and Jourdan prepare for their newest bundle of joy. Unfortunately on Sunday evening Mariah and Jourdan had decided to go to the hospital to check on baby Melayna as Mariah was worried she had not felt movement. Mariah and Jourdan received the most heartbreaking news that every parent prays not to hear. Baby Melayna no longer had a heartbeat. Mariah was induced and labored for 36 hours to bring their beautiful baby girl into this world with all their immediate family surrounding them. They got to spend time holding, kissing, hugging, and loving on their beautiful baby girl. As you know Mariah and Jourdan have 6 other children to continue to support as they go through this grieving process and everybody's worst nightmare of planning a memorial in honor of their baby girl.
Melayna Renée was named after her aunt who passed away as a child and both of her grandma's. Please help by donating to Mariah and Jourdan in this time of need. Donations will go towards arrangements for a funeral/memorial and any living costs of Mariah and Jourdan while they take some time away from work to grieve. If you are unable to donate please share this.
Please do not contact the family in this time as they are grieving. You may leave comments here as they will be looking at them.
