Financial Relief for Hope Engle & Chris Akers

Chris & Hope unexpectedly lost their sweet Josephine on November 12th (SIDS). Josie was just shy of 7 months; she changed our hearts forever with her playful, joyous spirit in that short time. Josie was Chris & Hope’s world. Both were called by God for parenthood; it was so apparent Josie had the happiest life because of them. They naturally flourished as new parents, and it was so beautiful to witness.

I created this account after many thoughts and prayers. I was inspired by an eager, loving community seeking to lift any burden imaginable for them. Bereavement pay from their jobs is unavailable. Chris & Hope both have incredible work ethics- one of the many characteristics I have admired for years. Please consider supporting these sweet parents financially during this difficult time. Your contributions will help cover funeral costs, pay medical bills, and would allow time off work to heal from this unfathomable loss of their sweet baby girl.
