A Family’s Hope After Tragic Loss

Hi, my name is Carla. I am starting this fundraiser to hopefully have another beautiful blessing one day.

So, 9 years ago, I started my journey of having children. Finding out around 6 months that I had preeclampsia caused me to be hospitalized for 3 weeks, hoping for Landon to stay a while longer. I then got really sick and had to have an emergency cesarean. Well, God decided he needed my son, Landon Lee Cole, to be with him and called him home on May 20th, 2016.

Five months later, I got blessed and was expecting my beautiful rainbow baby, Serenity Elizabeth Dawn, who is now 8 years old. Well, here we are years later, on March 27th, we had our beautiful Chanel LaShay Watson. Thinking we had completed our family (my fiancé has 3 beautiful children also), we decided to have my tubes removed. Unfortunately, that was a life-changing decision. On May 19th, Chanel unexpectedly passed away. This pain I’m feeling no mother should ever have to feel! I just want to have a beautiful family. Thank you for listening.
