Help Support Rozlyn & James

Donation protected
Dear friends, family, and kind-hearted individuals,

We come to you today with a heartfelt plea for help and support as we share the story of Rozlyn and James, a couple who have faced incredible challenges on their journey to parenthood. Their story is one of strength, resilience, and heartbreaking loss, and they need our assistance to overcome the financial burdens that have piled up during this trying time.

Rozlyn and James received the joyful news of expecting their first child, a baby boy who they named Luca, due to join their family in December 2023. However, their happiness was soon met with unexpected and severe health complications that turned their world upside down.

During Rozlyn's pregnancy, she battled intense sickness and discomfort that eventually led to hospitalization. After three agonizing weeks without a clear diagnosis, the doctors finally identified her condition: a combination of Ulcerative Colitis and Crohn's disease. This diagnosis brought extreme inflammation to her gastrointestinal tract, resulting in unbearable pain.

At 21 weeks pregnant, Rozlyn had to make the difficult decision to undergo surgery to remove her entire colon for her own safety and that of her baby. The doctors revealed that her colon had perforated in multiple places, putting her at risk of a life-threatening infection. Heartbreakingly, just three days later, Rozlyn and James received the devastating news that their beloved baby Luca had passed away, leaving them to grapple with unimaginable grief on top of their medical challenges.

As they navigate the aftermath of these traumatic events, Rozlyn remains in the hospital, unable to work and facing mounting medical bills. James has been by her side throughout this time, taking time off work to provide the support she needs during her recovery. The financial strain of medical expenses, coupled with the loss of income, has created an overwhelming burden for this couple who have already endured so much.

We believe in the power of community and compassion, and that's why we are reaching out to all of you who may be able to help. We humbly request your support in alleviating the financial stress that Rozlyn and James are facing. Every donation, no matter the size, will make a meaningful impact on their journey towards healing and recovery.

Your contribution will go towards:

  • Medical Expenses: Covering the mounting medical bills incurred during Rozlyn's hospitalization and treatment.
  • Lost Income: Assisting with income lost due to Rozlyn's inability to work and James' time off to care for her.
  • Grief Counseling: Supporting the couple in accessing the resources they need to navigate their heartbreaking loss.
  • Daily Expenses: Helping to manage their daily living expenses during this challenging time.

Rozlyn and James have shown immense strength and positivity in the face of adversity, and your support will provide them with the relief they need to focus on healing both physically and emotionally. We understand that not everyone may be in a position to donate, but sharing this fundraiser with your network can also make a significant impact.

Let us come together as a community to lift up Rozlyn and James during this challenging chapter of their lives. Your generosity will not only provide practical assistance but also send a message of love, solidarity, and hope.
