My name is Kerry and I am a 34 year mommy to a handsome 22 month old son Shamos Ziggy and now to a beautiful babygirl Angel, Rainy Shyloh. ???? 

  January 2024, I was 8 months pregnant???? with my second child, my daughter Rainy, when I suddenly suffered from an abruption of the placenta, which lead to the tragic loss of my babygirl. God decided Rainy was meant to live on as an Angel in Heaven instead of here on Earth. ???? That day, the joy, excitement and anticipation of the arrival of my second baby,??‍??‍??‍?? along with plans of a baby shower and the decorating of her nursery was replaced, with the dispair, and unbearable pain of saying goodbye, before being able to even say hello. ???? 

  We prepare for the costs that

with I'm raising funds to help families (like mine) going through one of the hardest losses imaginable. Rainy's Shyloh's AngelBaby's are raising money to help give back the incredibly angelic support to Empty Arms that they have blessed me and my family with during the worst time in our lives, so we didn't have to worry about the burden of financial hardship on top of the grief we were already going through. We want to do what we can to help other families who have the unfortunate experience of having to go through the same thing, so they can remember their Angels the way they deserve. Thank you for being an Angel here on Earth to help remember our Angels in heaven!
