About the Oaklyn Foundation:
Oaklyn was born on January 4, 2018, after an amazing pregnancy! What Travis and Jessica Remme didn’t know was that Oaklyn was born with an extremely rare Hemangioma on her liver that ruptured due to the pressure of delivery. After 10 hours, many blood transfusions, her heart stopping more times than they could count, and an unsuccessful surgery, they had to make the decision to let her go live with our Lord and Savior. This was the hardest decision of their lives.
What they found after the loss of their little girl was that there was little to no support for grieving families. In years past, infant and child loss was something that was kept secret, never to be discussed or talked about. Having walked this painful journey themselves, they discovered firsthand that talking about your child and celebrating them daily mends the heart a bit. After a time, they talked about Oaklyn with joy and pride, instead of pain and hurt. Their hope is that the Oaklyn Foundation can be that source of comfort for families during this difficult time in their life. They have walked this path, share the same pain in their hearts daily and understand a bit of what families are going through. They are here for you and would love to help your honor and remember your sweet child.
