Lauren Underwood and James Grundy are mourning the loss of their newborn daughter, Winnie, who died two days after birth. The couple faced multiple pregnancy challenges, including miscarriages and a molar pregnancy, before welcoming Winnie. After her birth, Winnie was diagnosed with a serious condition affecting her esophagus and breathing. Despite initial hopes, she passed away on January 31, leading the family to plan her funeral instead of celebrating her life. In response to their loss, friends and family have raised over £5,000 for Winnie's funeral in less than two weeks. The community has shown strong support, with plans for a charity raffle to further assist the family.
