Help Us Honor Our Precious Baby Girl, Lynnen Jo π©·ποΈ
On September 13, 2026, at 2:42 a.m., our lives changed forever.
Our beautiful daughter, Lynnen Jo, came into this world weighing 6 lbs 10 oz and measuring 19 inches long. She was perfect. She was our daughter. She was so deeply loved.
And instead of getting to bring our baby girl home, we had to say goodbye.
There are no words that can truly explain what it feels like to leave the hospital without your baby. We had dreams for her. We had plans for her. We were supposed to watch her grow, hear her laugh, hold her, and make a lifetime of memories with her.
Instead, we are learning how to carry a love that has nowhere to go.
Right now, we are asking for help with something we never imagined we would need: a headstone for our daughter.
When we began looking at prices, we were honestly shocked. The cost was far more than we could have ever imagined or prepared for. We aren't looking for anything extravagant. We just want something beautiful with Lynnen Jo's name on it.
We want to be able to go to the cemetery and find our baby girl.
Her resting place in the angels' section is a beautiful blessing. She is surrounded by other precious little babies, but the area is also very crowded. We want Lynnen to have a marker that tells us exactly where she isβto have her name there so we can find her when we come to visit.
We want to be able to kneel beside her, leave flowers, talk to her, and remind her that her parents and family are still here loving her every single day.
We also need help keeping my booth rent covered while I am away from work.
I am self-employed, and I had planned to work through the rest of this month so I could financially prepare for my short, planned maternity leave in October. We never imagined that I would deliver early and that our maternity leave would turn into a time of grieving our daughter.
I am not able to work right now. My heart and my body need time to heal, but unfortunately, the financial responsibilities don't stop while I'm grieving. I am trying to keep my booth while I take this unexpected time away, so that when I am ready to return to work, I still have a place to come back to.
Between the cost of Lynnen's marker and keeping my booth while I'm unable to work, we are facing expenses that we simply weren't prepared for.
So we are humbly asking for help.
If you are able to donate, every single dollar will help. Whether it goes toward Lynnen Jo's headstone or helping cover my booth rent while I'm away, your generosity would give us something we desperately need right now: a little less financial worry while we focus on grieving and honoring our baby girl.
If you're unable to donate, please share Lynnen's story. Share this fundraiser with your friends, family, coworkers, or anyone who might be willing to help. Even a share can make a difference.
And if all you can do is say her name, pray for our family, or send a little love our way, please know that it means more than we could ever put into words.
We never thought we'd be asking people to help us buy our daughter's headstone. We never thought we'd be planning a graveside visit instead of planning for her first Christmas, her first birthday, or watching her grow.
But Lynnen Jo was here.
She was our daughter.
She was beautiful.
She was loved from the moment we knew about her.
And she will be loved for every moment of every day for the rest of our lives.
She was beautiful.
She was loved from the moment we knew about her.
And she will be loved for every moment of every day for the rest of our lives.
We just want to make sure her name has a place in this world.
