Dear Family and Friends, 

I hope this letter finds you well and full of warmth, just like our little angel, Eli. As you may know, our son Eli was a beautiful soul who we sadly lost at just 31 weeks—just a few short weeks before we would have met him here on Earth. Even though he never got to take his first breath, his spirit continues to touch lives in ways I never imagined.

In honor of Eli and his time with us—though brief—I am excited to be raising funds for the Angel Babies Program through Hinds Hospice. This incredible program provides comfort and support to families who experience the loss of their little ones, just like we did. They helped us in ways that words can’t express, and I am determined to give back and ensure others get the same love and care we received.

Here’s where you come in: I’m reaching out to ask for your support in helping us raise money for this vital program. Whether it’s a little bit or a lot, every dollar makes a difference. Your donation will help provide grief support, memorial services, and a compassionate community for families who need it most.

I truly believe Eli’s legacy is one of love, joy, and light—even though our time together was far too short. Together, we can continue to spread his warmth and help other families navigate the hardest moments of their lives with the support they deserve.

 If you can’t donate, sharing this letter with others who might be able to help would be just as meaningful. And, of course, please keep our family and all the families supported by Hinds Hospice in your thoughts and prayers.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for helping us honor Eli’s memory. He may not be with us physically, but he is forever in our hearts—and now, through your kindness, he’s making the world a little brighter.

With love, 

Sam, Gabe, and Eli
