Marine family needs help now

Today the Marines do what they do best. They are fighting for the sake of one of their own. Cpl. Byler lost his daughter and needs help to pay for medical costs as well as the funeral. Too many people assume Reservists have coverage but they do not when they are not deployed. This family had nothing to help them as they watched their baby die. Top that off with they waited for doctors to come so her organs could be donated to help another family. Now while they should be grieving the loss of their daughter, since that is enough heartache, they have to worry about how to pay for all of it.

So the Marines decided to do something about it. Yesterday was Adalynn's funeral and today they washed cars to help the family.



The sad news came and our hearts are broken for this family.
Oviedo Marine Mourns loss of baby

Adalynn Byler was pronounced on Monday evening and was on support in order to allow organ transplant teams to be set up. Her family was very generous in allowing other families to have their prayers/wishes/dreams answered. There are three lives whose futures changed on Tuesday by the forward and outward thinking of the Byler family.

The family had no means to pay for the upcoming funeral expenses and hospital bill. They were in the process of getting medical coverage when this occurred and unfortunately none of this will be covered. As a reservist, the family receives no medical insurance.

The Florida Department of American Legion generously made provisions for funeral expenses. A memorial fund has been set up help with the medical costs, requested in lieu of flowers.

The Navy Federal Credit Union will receive donations for the Adalynn Byler Memorial Fund. If mailed:
