UPDATE: Thanks to the generosity of many in our community, the burial costs have been paid. The family sends their sincere thanks to all who helped!

 

The family of Brittany Baham and Laine Gerace of Port Barre are asking for assistance in paying for burial expenses and medical costs after the tragic loss of their first child, William.
The family has set up a GoFundMe account to assist with the expenses, as the parents did not have life or medical insurance for William, who was stillborn.

Brittany, who is attending LSUE to become an elementary teacher, and Laine were both excited to be expecting their first baby.  Brittany lost a lot of blood during the delivery and is currently recovering at home. Click here to visit the family's GoFundMe page.
