Support the Cheng Family while caring for baby Eliza.

Auckland

In the beginning of 2023 we were wanting to have another baby in our family and we were able to get pregnant not long after.

However on May 16 2023 we were told during our 12 week scan that there were some concerns around baby's development.

A week later we were informed by the hospital our baby has a severe skull defect (encephalocele) which meant that our baby will not be able to live long.

This has been hard for us to process and work through but we are trusting God with the whole situation. We are still praying for a miracle but also having to plan for the future.

We are thankful to those who have given us emotional and physical support and have created this page for those who also want to help us financially during this time.

Use of funds

Funeral Costs and Living costs so we don't need to be concerned with finances during this season of life.

Eliza safe in the arms of God  30 November 2023

It is with deep sorrow and grief we share with you that our precious Eliza Joy Cheng died peacefully with family on 29/11/2023 at home. She was born on 08/11/2023. We did not know how long we would have with her and we are blessed to have three weeks with her (plus 9 months in mummy's tummy). She was able to come home, go to church, visit my parent's home, and meet friends and family who love her dearly. She will be greatly missed and it will take us time to adjust with her not being with us anymore. However it is not without hope that we walk through life from now on. Jesus said in the gospel of John "I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die". We can have hope because Jesus has conquered death and we know though we die, we shall have eternal life with God.

We appreciate all the care from family and friends who have been alongside with us for the past year. We are relieved to know that Eliza is now safe in the arms of God and enjoying His perfect love and everlasting comfort. We are now separated for a little while, but we look forward to being reunited with her praising Jesus together forever.

To God be all the glory,

Jonathan, Lily, Eden and Eliza.
