WE DID IT!!! THIS FAMILIES FUNERAL BILL IS PAID IN FULL WITH EXTRA FOR THEM TO HAVE A LOTTLE LEFT OVER!! I WILL SEND UPDATES FROM THE FAMILY! THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!!

💕 EMERGENCY NEED 💕
We have a family who is currently needing assistance. Their child is in the transitioal phase of passing. They have been belittled and broken by the Internet doing what the Internet does and no longer has their go fund me up due to the hate they have received, which absolutely is disheartening.
We have more than 2k followers. If everyone were to give $1 we could help this family.
Yes, I have sent in what our organization allows to be paid towards each family which is why the costs are less than what the total is. I personally sent more to help get the costs down more.
Yes, the funeral home is in direct contact with me for me to transfer the funds to.
Yes, the funeral home did decrease the rates as much as possible.
Can we help this family in need?
Due to our own confidential paper work, I cannot and will not break the trust of those who come through our organization to give names so please respect that.
If you cannot donate that is totally understandable, share this post.
Please know we are not monetized so we do not profit off of our posts or anything actually.
Here is the zeffy link. It is tax deductible, as I pay the taxes of all monies paid into the account at the end of the year on my own taxes.

Thank you all!

As we navigate a path we know as grief now, birthdays hit different. Bittersweet with a bite, especially after losing a child because growing older highlights the physical time and distance growing between their loss and now.

Every birthday means we get another year of life, but our child did not get to keep theirs.
It isn't fair that we get to age, celebrate and live while our child's life stopoed. We even measure our age against an age they will never reach.

Birthdays are meant for joy, but core family reality is marked by a permanent, painful absence.
Society expects happiness on birthdays, which can feel fake, exhausting, and deeply isolating when you carry profound grief. So don't be offended when we don't want to celebrate or when we don't find joy in aging. Our identity as an active parent, especially to a medically complex child feels unexpressed or rejected by a world that wants to party while we mourn.

Because as we get older, our child remains the same age, for me, it's forever two. The gap feels unnatural to my heart. So you do what is best for your own hearts.
If you don't feel like celebrating then just say so, those who love you will respect that. Remove expectations, you do not have to smile, celebrate or pretend to be happy just because it feels expected because it's your birthday. Let family and friends know how you feel to protect your own energy.

But guess what, you have the right to feel joy. You can feel happy. If that's how you feel. Don't cover your grief on your birthday to make others comfortable. I'm 20 months in and people think I should be happy and okay now, and I am not. Far from it. Time moves forward but our heart stays with the grief. Birthdays make it hard. Not just theirs but ours. So as my birthday is today, I want to say..

Be incredibly kind to yourself on your birthday and know that we are here for you.

All of our children matter.

If anyone has purchased one of our books to help our mission to help other pediatric hospice families, thank you. I am so grateful for you all.

If you can share to spread the word about our books on Amazon, that would be great. Leaving reviews helps. If your child has been in our books what do you guys all think of them? I don't AI generate the words and if I do, they are heavily modified, mainly with the rhyming part, as sometimes words are hard to rhyme. But other than that, these words come from my heart in hopes it helps yours.

STOP AND CHECK THIS OUT!! Remember, we support everyone on this page, this is not only about our organization and Willow. There is enough space in this universe for us ALL to coexist. We will never be an organization or page that will not share other people's things to support them as well. So please go buy a book as our grieving children can benefit from it!
Leave a comment if you purchase or tag organizations that can benefit from this!

Cancer families and organizations!! Scratch that ....
EVERYONE!!

A mama sent me a message and is as follows with some removed for personal conversation reasons..

Beth Engleman is who wrote this book.

Here’s a link to the webpage. There’s a buy book button for the public and there’s a tab “Give Back” and any organization interested in ordering discounted books can put in a request through there. Once I receive the inquiry I send them a custom link to order through where they will get the book at print price.

I also have a sponsor program where people can buy the book and donate it for a family in need. For example, I received 12 donated books recently and they were shipped to a partner foundation to share with their bereaved families.

A gentle children's grief book for ages 2–8 — honest words about loss for little listeners, and a reminder that love does not go away.

I want to put this invite out there for anyone who has lost a child and would want to join in a group grief meeting once a month for an hour.
I finally decided to try and it was helpful. Please message me and I will send you the email you can message and he will reach back out with the link. You can be off camera and silent if you choose to but it's a resource here to help from Hands of Hope.

If you cannot send me a message comment on this post and I will go to my private page and message you. My personal page is Kesha Fisher if you want to send me a message.

Hoping this helps another family.

Had Willow been a typical developing child, she would have been going to her first day of PreK.
Instead of picking out a tiny backpack, packing her lunchbox, and taking that classic first-day photo, I took one of her at the door of the Prek building and I am sitting in the quiet as tears fall and the realization that it's been almost 20 months since I held her, kissed her or just had her.
Seeing the school buses roll by and watching parents drop their children off, the matching first-day outfits on my feed and in person, brings a wave of grief that knocks the breath right out of me. You should be out there.
You should be running into a classroom, making friends, and coming home with paint on your fingers.
Milestones like today are a heavy reminder of the beautiful future we were robbed of. But even though you aren't here to walk through those school doors, you are carried in my heart every single second. My love for you hasn’t stopped growing; it just has nowhere to go today.
To any parent holding a broken heart through a milestone their child never got to see: I see you. The silence is deafening, and the grief is real. Be gentle with yourself today. 🤍
Willow should be here. All of our children should be here.
