Memorial Fund for Baby Ethan

Donation protected

Christina and Allan lost their 17 month old son, Ethan, in a tragic car accident on April 29 in Pepperell, MA. Ethan was an angelic child who brought love and joy to everyone around him. His death is an immense loss to his parents and his two brothers who are 3 and 7. He will be buried at a green cemetery in Maine on May 2 and will have a memorial in MA later in May. 

Christina and Allan are self-employed and run a startup ecological landscaping company together. They are incredibly hardworking and determined people but now face needing to grieve and heal without a financial buffer for bereavement leave or child care as well as a variety of funeral and memorial expenses.

This fund will go entirely to Christina and Allan and will help pay for:
-Funeral and memorial expenses: they don't know the final amount yet because this has happened so quickly, but it will likely be at least $2500
-A full time babysitter whom the kids already know and love to come in for a few weeks so they can both have quality time with their children, take time for mourning, and continue to run their business. Their babysitter costs $800/week for full time support. 


Any help is infinitely appreciated - so many thanks in advance for your love and support.
