Declan James Crawford, Greer, SC — The community is coming together to support Dawn and Howard Crawford, who tragically lost their newborn son, Declan James Crawford. Born stillborn on July 7, 2024, Declan was a long-awaited miracle IVF baby, delivered at 37 weeks and 5 days. He weighed 6 lb 1 oz and was 19 3/4 inches long.
Just four days before his birth, an ultrasound showed Declan was growing strong and healthy, making his sudden loss even more heartbreaking and inexplicable. Dawn, Howard, and their daughter Haven are devastated by this unimaginable tragedy.
In response to this tragic event, Lauren Bigham, along with her sister April, has organized a fundraiser to help alleviate the financial burdens faced by the Crawford family. The fundraiser aims to raise $7,000 to cover medical expenses, home essentials, and time away from work during their period of grieving. So far, $340 has been raised from nine generous donors, including contributions from Lauren Martin, Elizabeth Brown, Emily Carroll, Sara Riggins, and Amary Doehling.
Lauren Bigham expressed the collective sentiment: "Parents should never have to bury their babies or children, and I can’t imagine the pain they are in. Lost, devastated, and heartbroken barely begin to describe it."
The community’s support, through prayers, words of encouragement, and donations, is a testament to the love and solidarity surrounding the Crawford family during this excruciatingly painful time.
