Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Kelli,
I can’t even begin to imagine what you’re going through. I don’t know you outside of your presence on Fauna, but I can tell that you are a wonderful, beautiful, and caring person with a good heart. The loss of a child is something that no one should ever have to endure. It’s not fair; no mother ever deserves to experience her worst fears, and no child ever deserves to have their life here on Earth cut short. Please, allow yourself to grieve, and allow your friends to support you in any way they can.
I have you and your family in my thoughts and in my prayers.
May the outstretched arms of heaven love and embrace Hayden, just as you have as his mother.

Kelli and Steve,
There are no words that can be offered that might palliate the pain that you are experiencing right now. Just know that there is a whole community of people out here who grieve for your loss. You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers for the days and weeks to come.
My deepest sympathies and condolences,
Jay

Kelli, I don't know you personally but I did buy a wonderful young female gecko from you earlier this year and we talked on the phone for a bit. You seem like a wonderful person and when I read about your son a pain shot through my heart and tears filled my eyes. I am so sorry. I hope you can find some comfort knowing so many people here at Fauna care about you.

Kelli,
FOr once I can't think of anything to say. As I am not a parent I can't understand the pain you are going through. I can only offer you my heartfelt condolenses and let you know you and your family will be in my thoughts.
If you need help with your collection I'd be more then willing to fly down there and help. I don't have a real job or children so it would be no big deal. I wish I could do more because you are such a great person.
I'd be glad to donate a Leo for any auction anyone arranges. I'll even donate some roaches.
Flowers are a nice donation but I know with my Grandmothers recent unexpected parting they went unoticed. Monetary gifts helped the family greatly with the bills that were accrued. I think a few nice arrangements is a great idea but then take the rest as a cash donation to help offset all the costs.

I appreciate the emails and PM's from those looking to contribute to the fund. I'm looking to launch it within the next few days. Monday, tuesday at the latest. Those looking to help can simply hold out until then and perhaps put some items up for the donation auctions we will offer. There will also be direct donations I will set up in the form of a PayPal button that will link directly to Kelli and her family. Soon as me and Fred get everything together I'll be happy to link all information here in this thread for you guys. The amounbt of people looking to contribute is amazing, I'm very proud to be part of this community.
Again, I'm so very sorry Kelli and I hope our efforts can assist your family in its time of greif. Please accept whatever we may pull together as a token of our friendship and know that we wish we coud do so much more.......... You'll be in our Prayers.

"for a mother to lose a child is the most tragic thing any person can experience. i cant even imagine what you are going through right now kelli. stay strong. i am deeply sorry for your loss."
I agree with that. Kelli, I am so sorry to hear this. I wish there were something that could be done to ease your pain. I know it must be extremely hard for you, but the memories will always be there, and know that he is not truly gone, but will always be with you. My prayers are with you and your family.

Hey Steve,
This post is for you in particular since most have addressed Kelli, not that they don't acknowledge your loss, she's just better known here.
I've got tears in my eyes as I type, and while I have not lost a child of my own I do believe there isn't much that could be worse. I just wanted you to know that you are also in my thoughts, as you are NO doubt in the thoughts of everyone who has written, even though it seems that we are overlooking you. We're not.
Man, I am SO sorry for your loss. Words are not sufficient to express the sorrow I feel for you, and I'm not an overly emotional kind of guy; just got a soft spot for kids.
As has been said so often, if there is ANYTHING I can do for either of you, feel free to ask. I am at a loss here for anything else to say.
