In late summer 2024, we found out we were expecting our first child and were over the moon about starting to build our family. Shortly after, we had our first appointment and found out that there was something wrong and that our child may not make it.

Over the next several months, we prayed and hoped but ultimately our daughter, Isabelle Rae, passed on to be with the Lord. We were heartbroken and struggled for months after. Thankfully, we had an amazing support system who gathered around us until we were ready to stand on our own again.

In the times that followed, we visited our daughter's marker and over time noticed that some of the plots were missing markers despite enough time passing. After a while, we inquired with the funeral home and learned that many families struggled to pay for everything they wanted to give to their child.

It did not sit right with us that these families, already going through the most miserable thing they could, now had to struggle in a whole new way on top of their loss. So we made the decision to do something to help.

Izzy's Rae of Light was formed with the expressed intention of providing financial assistance for the funeral costs and help to alleviate some of the burden these families are taking on. No parent should have to alone in this endeavor or miss the opportunity to give their child the rest place they feel they deserve.
