Tyler Pardy Family Fundraiser
Donation protected
It is with great sadness and regret that we must share with you the reason we started this fundraiser. With absolute heartache, IBEW Local 1620 member, Tyler Pardy of Grand -Le-Pierre, yesterday lost his partner - the love of his life, Siobbhan Nancy Sheppard.
Tyler and Siobbhan have been together for 10 plus years and only just welcomed twin baby boys, TJ and Kobe, on April 1, 2020. The journey to welcoming these twins was a long and hard one. Siobbhan went into early labour on March 21st and was taken to the Health Science Centre in St. John’s. With success, the doctors were able to delay the labour - until April 1st - just in time for Daddy Tyler to finish his self-imposed Covid-19 quarantine, after being laid off from his job in Ontario.
Tyler and Siobbhan could not have been happier! They were about to embark on the next journey in their lives. The journey would not be an easy one, as the twins were born early at 29 weeks, leaving them extremely premature that will require care at the NIC Unit in the Janeway Hospital in St. John’s. This is almost 250 km from their home.
In the days since the baby’s birth, the twins have proven that the will to live is strong and with the care they are receiving, they have been growing wonderfully. However, they will need to stay at the hospital until their expected due date of June 15, 2020.
Once the babies were proving to be more than stable, Siobbhan was discharged and given the option to go home to rest and gather some belongings for herself and the boys. She and Tyler did so willingly and had planned to return on Saturday to prepare for the exciting event of finally being able to hold their babies on Sunday. However, life had other plans in store for them. Sadly, Siobbhan passed away late last evening after what is believed to be due to complications from childbirth.
Tyler and his precious sons need all the love and help they can get right now. Travel to and from the hospital, accommodations, funeral costs are just a few of the unexpected expenses that Tyler will be facing during this heart wrenching time, in these already uncertain times.
To show our support and in an effort to help Tyler and his twin babies in this trying time, IBEW Local 1620 has started this GoFundMe page and have donated $1,500.00 to kickstart our efforts to raise as much as possible. Our goal is $50,000 but we hope to raise even more.
Please, lets unite and help in this family's time of need, the best we can, to alleviate some of the financial burdens in this great time of sorrow. No amount is too small - every dollar helps!
Please share far and wide to encourage your family and friends to donate. Your generosity is greatly appreciated more than you will ever know.
