Background
With much joy, on July 2nd, a young and loving couple, Ian and Chelsea (Swallow) Wilder welcomed precious baby boy, Owen Matthew Wilder into the world. Just 43 days later, on August 14th, they were blindsided when Owen did not wake up that morning. Ian's mother and I (Ian's first cousin) are launching this fundraiser on the couple's behalf. They could not have anticipated his sudden death; no less the high costs of a funeral to honor their son's memory and to give him the proper burial that he deserves. Any gift will help. Sharing will also help. Thank you for your kindness during this difficult time. Baby Owen Matthew Wilder left before we really got to know who he would become and we will always hold him in our hearts.
Funds are being collected and disbursed by Lynda Janelle Hopkins, Owen's cousin.
