Strangers helping raise funds to pay for burial of baby girl

Tragedy has struck twice for one Church Hill father.
Family members say he lost a baby just over a year ago and now his four-month-old daughter was found dead last weekend. Friends say emotionally and financially it’s taking a toll.
But now some strangers are stepping in to help.
TAGGED: 30th Street
Happy to contribute.
Anybody know what the story with the girl’s passing is? Sounds tragic to lose such a little one.
Two kids dying as babies? Something doesn’t smell right to me. I’m not saying it was deliberate, maybe it’s just the worst of luck, but still it doesn’t sit comfortably with me. DISCLAIMER: this is just me.
From the article:
“Richmond police say they were called to the Church Hill apartment home off 30th Street early Saturday morning for an baby who had stopped breathing.
The child’s family says a family member was babysitting the infant and fell asleep by the little girls side. Now police are investigating whether that family member rolled over on top of the girl and suffocated her. They say that’s their preliminary finding but they’re waiting for the Medical Examiner’s final cause of death.”
That would be so sad!
Tragic all the way around….If there is truth to #4s report, accidental or not…two is enough for these folks until they’re better prepared to be responsible for a child.
