Support Brittany and Stephen After Tragic Loss

My name is Alex Royer and my dear friend Brittany Geissdorfer has endured another tragic loss. All Brittany has ever wanted was to be a mother. After many failed attempts to conceive naturally with her husband Stephen, they turned to IVF. Fifty thousand dollars of IVF treatments later, they were pregnant with a daughter , whom they sadly lost to a miscarriage in February of 2024. But Brittany and Stephen didn't lose hope; they tried again with another round of IVF treatments and found themselves pregnant again with a daughter. They learned early that their baby girl would be born with a birth defect called omphalocele, a rare birth defect that occurs when the abdominal wall doesn't close properly, allowing the intestines and other organs to protrude through the belly button. This meant specialized prenatal care and planning for Brittany and her daughter. In October, she was put on bed rest, putting her on leave from work. The doctors were confident that Brittany would go into labor early, but baby girl stayed strong inside until full term, until 1/31 for her scheduled delivery. Bexley Lynn was born 9lbs 4oz with a full head of hair and just as beautiful as everyone knew she would be. Unfortunately, in the early hours of 2/1, sweet Bexley passed away due to complications from her underdeveloped lungs from her defect. Brittany and Stephen are suffering an unimaginable loss and grieving their daughter. Any monetary donation would be greatly appreciated to help them with bills from the hospital and Bexley's final expenses.
