Support Winters Angels: Aid Grieving Families

Hello, My, my name is Abby! Today, I am asking for funds to start a charity to raise funds for families who have lost a child and are grieving. I have lost a child myself last year, and it was the worst pain I had ever gone through in my life, the worst trauma I had ever experienced, and I wish I could bring her back every moment of every day. Or hold and give her a kiss just one more time. She’s been gone a year now and it’s unbelievable to think about. I wish I could bring her back and I can’t help but worry about other families going through the same thing. These funds are to start my charity for these families. Funds are directly designated for women and families who have lost a child and are struggling financially or psychologically. First you must know, you are not alone in your pain, you will find your rainbow in this storm! I had a storm fall upon myself not long ago and it still clouds over, but the storms are starting to clear, as of when I found out I was pregnant with my amazing rainbow and my beautiful angel has a little brother to watch over. Let me give you a little backstory to help you understand that someone not only feels and sees you are in pain, but notices, recognizes, relates painfully, and wants to help you through this tragedy. I am a 22 year old woman, born October 29th 2002. I’m not just a woman but a mother, a wife, a daughter and much more. My entire life I was raised around my family and their little ones always around me! They were constantly showing and teaching me how to love and care for all the little ones and I observed as well. My whole life I’ve had that protective motherly instinct, as most mothers do. My husband and I met in May of 2021. We fell in love not long after the night we met and got engaged Christmas Eve of 2021 and we were pronounced married on February 14th of 2022! We tried from the first year of our relationship to have a little bundle of joy, only to have negative, after negative, one after the other. We prayed, we begged whoever could hear us, we hoped until we were hopeless, we were heartbroken being under the impression we were infertile but still holding onto the fact that maybe soon, all this holding on would lead to that tiny little hand wrapped around mommy or Dads finger. We finally got our blessing when we found out we were pregnant with our daughter on May 8th of 2023 and had our first stunning baby girl on January 10th of 2024. It was the most beautiful moment of my life when my little girl cried in my arms for the first time and was immediately soothed with mamas voice and cuddles. She loved with more love I could ever imagine a human loving. She trusted and believed in all of us. She was so pure and beautiful, she changed every one of our lives for the better and she couldn’t even talk yet. She sure could smile! She would grin and coo at mommy and dad and giggle the best she knew how. Trigger warning: The morning of April 3rd 2024 I woke up from a horrible nightmare i lost her, to my husband screaming her name and begging her to look at him. I couldn’t process what had happened and every time I think about that morning it gives me PTSD for weeks, months, honestly I don’t feel it ever goes away. I had to let her leave in an ambulance and the last time I held her for the next few days was when she was gone. I finally got to hold her one more time and say goodbye at her funeral service and I don’t get that again. After months and months of waiting on reports we found out that she was taken by SIDS. She was, and always will be my everything. She’s my all, and my whole universe. All of my baby’s always will be. Winnie will never be forgotten and I hope her story has inspired you to support other mothers and families in grieving. Anything helps when someone is struggling with grief, even a hand to hold, a hug, or simply offering yourself a shoulder to cry on, or an ear to just listen. Don’t let them remain alone and reach out. If you would like to make a donation to Winters Angels please follow these steps and thank you so much! You never know how bad someone just needs a simple “Are you okay?” It’s already devastating and unbearable losing your little one. Let’s help these families out so they are spared the pain of dealing with this all alone. Bless you!
