A man has tragically lost his wife, daughter and sister all in the one week.
Domingos Fraga’s wife Liz died after an emergency C-section at Milford Hospital in Connecticut, America.
Their daughter Juliet was born but she only lived for five days as she’d taken in too much blood during the birth.
“I got to hold her and read to her every night,” Domingos told WCVB.
“They were meant to be together. Liz wanted to hold her.”
Things continued to get worse when at the wake, he learned that his sister Melinda had died from advanced cervical cancer and his 91-year-old grandmother had a stroke.
“All my family is being taken away,” Maria Fraga, Domingos’ mother, said.
“It’s not fair.”
To help, Domingos’ friend Tiago Pereira has started a GoFundMe page.
“You’re already going through the whole emotional burden, and on top of it a financial one, I couldn’t see my best friend going through that,” Pereira said.
“Domingos called all his friends and family to notify them that the baby was coming. He was full of joy, his wife was about to make his dreams come true, he was going to be a father,” he says on the page.
“A day that he dreamed about turned into a nightmare. Juliet’s time in this world was brief but she was loved so much.”
