Please Help Rebecca & Shawn Lay "Baby Waylon" to Rest.
Tragedy has struck our family in the most heartbreaking way. My daughter, Rebecca, and her husband, Shawn, had just moved to Montana for a fresh start when their lives took an unimaginable turn.
On February 19, Rebecca underwent emergency gallbladder surgery. During the procedure, the surgeon carelessly nicked her uterus, triggering premature labor. Just hours later, she had to undergo an emergency C-section, delivering her son, Waylon Shawn Whisman, at only 27 weeks, weighing 2 lbs 4 oz.
Waylon was a fighter, battling against the odds of extreme prematurity. But while in the NICU, he contracted MRSA, a severe hospital-acquired infection. Our sweet boy fought with all he had, but on March 2, after just 12 days of life, he tragically passed away.
Now, Rebecca is trying to recover from two major surgeries while caring for her 10-month-old daughter, Paisley, and grieving the devastating loss of her firstborn son. Meanwhile, Shawn is doing everything he can to support his family, but they are now faced with funeral and memorial costs they simply cannot afford.
We are reaching out for help to give Waylon the peaceful, dignified farewell he deserves. No parent should have to worry about funeral expenses while enduring this kind of heartbreak. Every donation, no matter the size, will help ease this burden and allow them to focus on healing.
f you are unable to donate, please consider sharing this fundraiser to help spread the word. Your kindness and prayers mean the world to us.
Thank you for your love and support. Waylon, you will never be forgotten.
With love,
Cheri Davis (Waylon’s Maternal Grandma)
