Funeral Expenses for Baby Madalynn

On 10/15/22, my niece, Madalynn Elizabeth Gray, was born unexpectedly at 25 weeks via emergency C-section after some severe complications with my sister's pregnancy. The following morning, after a courageous fight, baby Madalynn passed away, surrounded in love by her mom and dad, Molly and Michael. She was perfect in every way.

Molly and Michael are also loving parents to my 1-year-old niece, Josie, and are absolutely heartbroken and devastated over the loss of Madalynn. I can only imagine that this is the worst type of pain and loss that a parent could endure.

As Molly's sister, all that I can offer her is my utmost love and support. I would like to do so by raising money to cover the cost of Madalynn's transport home to WV, her funeral, and her headstone so that at the very least, Michael and Molly would not have to carry this financial burden. Please consider donating if you feel led to do so.

I have spoken to Molly at length, and we have decided that if there be any excess funds, they would be donated to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center where Maddie was born and received the most excellent care I have ever observed. The staff there was so incredibly attentive and compassionate, and I will never forget their valued effort to save Madalynn's life.
