In lieu of flowers

Please consider a contribution to Help with Final Expenses.

Background

Ava's passing was sudden and unexpected. Our daughter is gone and her sisters are devastated. She had just started the sixth grade and was having a great start to her school year. Our hearts are aching right now. The insurance coverage she had covered her around-the- clock care, but unfortunately there is no coverage for final expenses. After calling the many foundations recommended to us, we are continously being told that their funding is reserved for stillborn, infant, and toddler aged children.

That now leaves cremation as the only option, but we would love to celebrate her life with a service and burial that is truly befitting of her light and the love that we ALL shared for and with her. She impacted our lives and the lives of many during her eleven years on this earth. Please consider helping us honor our Ava "Bean" and her life and legacy.

Updates

Update from Nov. 12, 2024

Due to additional support and a substantial contribution from a non-profit organization we are now closer to having the balances for services and the headstone satisfied.

For anyone who may have thought it was too late to help - no it's not too late!

Thank you to everyone who's shown love and support. ❤️

Update from Sept. 27, 2024

Through divine happenstance we were given the name of a local family owned headstone company. They are reputable and competitively priced. Unbeknownst to us they were responsible for the beautiful headstone of a cousin that passed away unexpectedly years ago until they showed his picture as an example of options they offered. .. 😇. What a powerful connection.

Update from Sept. 12, 2024

We were blessed to find out about a memorial park that assists families with burial plots for children which shrinks our goal! Truly grateful.
