Grant Thompson, a founding partner at Bainbridge Island, Wash.-based MG Group, announced today to the SMB community he started a GoFundMe campaign to support funeral and burial costs for Edith Grace, Thompson’s newborn niece.
Edith Grace was diagnosed with Trisomy 18, a chromosomal condition that can result in early death of an infant, according to WebMD. She was born July 31 and died August 12, leaving behind both moments of grief and memories of joy.
Forty supporters helped Thompson meet his initial fundraising goal of $5,000, but every dollar helps to further offset costs to the family. Thompson added he hopes supporters will envelope the family in prayer.
Those wanting to provide the family with financial and spiritual support can visit the “Edith Grace Memorial Fund” here.
