Story
My good friend's Debbie and Richard sadly lost their baby boy Jaylen-Jayce in the early hours of Tuesday 16/05/2017. He was just two days old. Jaylen was born prematurely at 28 weeks and five days on Sunday 14/05/2016. We all held out hope that Jaylen would fight but sadly the fight was just too big for him. In a strange twist of fate Jaylen-Jayce was born five years to the day that Debbie and Richard sadly list their twins. They now have four Angel babies. Debbie and Richard were in a surrogacy arrangement and their surrogate had to have an emergency C-Section for Jaylen to be born. So, not only do they have themselves to think about but their wonderful surrogate too. They still have to pay the rest of their surrogates expenses and now with a funeral to organise for little Jaylen they are totally feeling the pressure as you can imagine.
So, I am setting this up with Debbie and Richard's blessing to try and raise some money towards Jaylen's funeral. They appreciate times are hard for everyone but if you can give anything at all they will be eternally grateful.
The funeral home will provide a basic funeral. It is Debbie and Richard's wish that Jaylen is interred with Debbie's dad so there are costs associated with opening up the grave site and relevant permissions. The money will help go towards that.
Please note that Justgiving take 5% in fees and processing fees on top. If we reach the £2000 target, Debbie and Richard will receive £1847 and a few pence.
Thank you for reading,
Jo
