Hyatt's Gambol through the Grove

Our Story

Hyatt Walker Fleegle was born sleeping at 35 weeks gestation and delivered via C-Section on May 15th, 2012. We were filled with happiness and anticipation of having our fifth and last child who was due on June 14th. Our lives were forever changed on May 14th after a checkup when I learned that our baby had passed away. Since my husband was out of town on a business trip, we had the C-section the following day, May 15th. We got to spend 12 hours with our son before having to say our final goodbyes. The doctors never determined the cause of Hyatt's death. It seemed that God had his own plan for our little Angel.

Losing Hyatt was the most devastating experience for us. It has changed our lives forever. Through this process we learned that we were not alone. We knew that we wanted to find a way to help other families dealing with the loss of a child. While comforting each other in the hospital, our vision for "Hyatt's Angels" came about.

We created "Hyatt's Angels" as a way to offer families suffering the loss of a child the support they need. Proceeds will be used to provide emotional and financial assistance.

Please consider donating to "Hyatts Angels". With your support, we can provide need based financial assistance to grieving families dealing with the loss of a child.

"Hyatts Angels" is a 501(c)3 not for profit organization and donations are generally tax deductible depending on your tax situation. Our Tax ID number is 25-1637373.
