Just heard about this girl. Man, it's so tragic & wouldn't wish it on my worse enemy. I do find it disappointing how she is advertising her own go fund me/posts on it. I wouldn't be thinking about any of that in such a dreadful time. God I wouldn't be on my phone scrolling through social media either. I guess everyone deals with such things differently. Does she have a family she can find support in?

To some of us it may definitely seem weird. Influencers live in a different universe it seems. In the midst of everything to filter your photos of you crying over your dying baby to match the aesthetic of your feed may seem nutty.
But this is the life they’ve built for themselves and they basically spend day to day thinking of what videos to make or what to post. It seems natural in their world that they’d turn to social media during the hardest time of their lives. Social media is their job and life so it doesn’t seem out of place for them, if that makes sense. They are still connecting with their audience and seeking support and comfort from them.
It seems she has a good support system outside of the IG / YouTube world so I’m glad for that, even though this is a nightmare for her family and in the moment it feels like nothing will be ok.
If anything we have learned is really to never make fun of someone's child. I know some people on this sight said that Crew had a big nose like his mother's and that he wasn't a cute baby. Shame on you. Nobody should should never ever make fun of anybody's children .

I lost a child after having her on life support and it is something that will never ever ever be ok, no matter how much time passes. I have another child now and one due in March and this situation remains a nightmare and a constant fear. I can’t even coherently put anything into words right now I’m so shattered for this family and that precious baby. At the very least I’m glad Brit has a support system to lean on. Im so sorry for her family and for all of you who have suffered this unimaginable loss. My heart breaks.
Side note about the owlet - when choosing monitors I looked at the owlet but it seemed like a $300 glorified pulse ox, and does not work if baby is in the swing / anything that moves or rocks. I decided on the snuza which works by detecting movement instead of vitals. No monitor is perfect and this can happen to anyone regardless of how many precautions we take.
I used snuza for all three of my babies, we loved it!

Just because someone doesn’t like the way someone looks doesn’t mean they wish something terrible like this would happen to them. Please don’t bring that negative nonsense onto her page right now.
hi all - new user here (but I've been reading YTMD for months)
totally hoping that my unpopular opinion doesn't cause me to be a pariah (though i've seen comments here get savage so i feel like y'all have pretty thick skin) but I definitely agree that its so disheartening to see brittani filtering her photos so that her IG feed doesn't get impacted.
Like..her child is passing away and not only did it occur to her that the photo isn't 'pretty enough' for her feed, but then she is also spending time adding on the filter and posting. it all may take only 10 min but when this child is passing away, like you are really going to be spending 10 min out of your last 12 hours? it seems like her IG takes extreme precedence over anything horrible she may endure, and that is sad.
additionally, she initially asked for 10k on gofundme, then upped it to 25k, then 50k, now 75k. I live in america (in new york) and i am well aware of the costs of living in the US. additionally, she lives in Texas which is extremely cheap. the average hospital stay per day in the icu (intense care unit) is about 3k a day. the have been in the hospital about 4 days. the airlift prob costs around 15k and the mri/ct scan about 5k. I think you see where I am going with this..basically, they mentioned they want to buy a new house and i think what initially started as (and still is) a horrific travesty (I am still praying for them) but they've turned their sons passing into a roadshow.
i mean notice how they keep upping it so as to incentivize people and also giving out updates but vague, cryptic ones that make people still feel the need to donate. think about it, if they posted "our son is absolutely going to pass and we will arrange for the funeral" then people could easily guesstimate the costs and call her out for over-charging on gofundme for a funeral. rather, she says "who knows but the more support the better!)[obvi not her actual words but same gist] then people will keep donating bc they think it could change the situation.
Brittani - how on earth can you repost brittani's IG photo asking people to go subscribe to you and put your videos on repeat? tht means you literally have been sitting around watching your friends' social media videos or be in some sort of contact with friends. and for any users who may have a difference of opinion here, let me politely remind you that these users are choosing what they put on social media. remember, social media is fake, it is created. everything is created with intent so if you think these are just random photos getting added, then please go brush up on marketing for youtube moms. she shows every single sign of marketing her kids death and its downright astonishing.
she is using her sons death as an opportunity to grow her channel and subscribers. i think she was absolutely devastated at first, but i think she now sees a silverlining and is becoming opportunistic.
I think she will keep that baby on life support as long as she keeps making money, and the second her likes/subscribers dwindle and shes not making as much money from it, she'll pull the plug.
again, i know my sentiments here are harsh, but shes harming her followers who are mostly mothers themselves by providing all these vague, cryptic updates asking for money but not mentioning the true cost, what is going to happen, etc. Now these followers are crying in front of their kids or while breastfeeding their children and its not healthy. she is using her sons death to rinse people of money and its horrible. astonishingly horrible.
I think the following should be demanded:
1. she should show how much the bills are so that donators can know where their donation goes (is it to medical bills or a downpayment on a bigger house because she has 3 kids in 1 bed?)
2. any extra money she has gotten should be donates to children's hospital.
no parent should EVER have to go through what she is going through but no parents should EVER make money from their childs unpreventable death. this is priming for munchausen syndrome and further scams.
still praying for a miracle for this child and hoping that the Leaches are leaching off their followers during what has to be some of the hardest moments of a lifetime.
I'd love to hear other's thoughts (both in agreement and not!) on how you think she is handling this and if you too see signs that she is now making this into a youtube career growth opportunity.

Oh of course that’s what it is then I don’t know why I gave Tara the benefit of the doubt that she’s be a half decent person knowing she didn’t even contribute a dollar to the go fund me. Gosh that woman is so horrible. You’re right, she’d never miss an opportunity to make $ just like she posted a swipe up ad right after posting the gofundme that she herself never even donated to.
To be fair you have no idea what YouTube channels has or hasn’t donated to their go fund me and anyone who goes and looks at the list of thousands that have during this time of tragedy to check is twisted in this time of tragedy.
The reason people are pointing out Tara didn't donate is because she posted about Brittani and then did a swipe up immediately after. If anything that's sick and twisted. And yes you can see who donated or not, doubtful Tara would do it anonymously. She should donate some $ from the swipe up she did right after.
I'm not here to argue with anyone especially on this thread but my opinion stands that it's twisted to look through thousands of donations to find one name or even just assume someone didn't donate just because you or whoever else doesn't like their channel. I don't even know who this Tara girl is but what I do know is that she's far from the only influencer on social media that posted a quick swipe up to the GFM page then turned right back into posting about their shopping hauls what they got for christmas or other ads.......in fact I'm seeing a lot of that on my feed so why pinpoint one person when tons are doing it?
I know this is of topic but curious if anyone’s knows if in this case cord blood banking would help in a situation like this? Now I’m thinking of doing this for my 2nd child... I cry every time I see anyone post about her and her family... No one should ever go through this
I dont know how everyone else feels about this but I really cant stand when someone says “If I were in this situation I would never ______” Listen up, if you have never been in this situation you cannot say what you would and wouldnt do.

"I do not understand why all of her children when babies have their tongues constantly out like an old dog. Every picture of RAW you can either look at her tongue, large forehead, misshapen ears, or hideous outfit. Warning—you’ll always lose at this game. "
^^^^^^^^^ Just wanted to let everyone know that 12 days ago this very person placing shame on some of you was saying this about Aaryn William's child.....
Imagine being that person that can't take ownership of your own shit but point fingers at one or two people because honestly I can't relate. Anyone that has signed up for this website myself and all of you included and commented anywhere on the forums has said something they shouldn't have whether it was about an adult or a child. don't act holier than thou in the wake of a tragedy or any other time because there are people here that will have no issue calling you on your own mishaps if you want to start pointing fingers.

She didn't post the gfm with what I'm talking about but sure did post a swipe up for HER to get $ right after. Could care less if she donated or not. I don't even know Brittani or really watch her but I donated to it and I shared the GFM (Tara didn't even do that at first). That is why people mentioned her. Just like people mentioned how tiffani beaston was asking for baby #4 right after.

THIS. Thank you. If you have never watched your child die you have absolutely no business saying what you would or would not be doing in those moments. If you actually have watched your child die, you would know better than to make any sort of judgement on someone going through that same hell.

I’ve never lost a child... but I have watched my mom slowly die. (over 10 in a hospital then hospice). If you just sit there and do nothing you will lose your mind. I don’t blame her for finding an outlet. You want to do ANYTHING to take your mind off of what is going on in front of you.
As for her supposedly advertising her go fund me... I think someone else has access to her IG.
Im watching one of her latest videos. She pumping and wrapping presents for Crew.
I personally don’t think it’s fair to judge Brittani for sharing her go fund me. We have zero clue what their financial situation is. They could be living off of credit cards for all we know. Her husband is just a coach, and they have a large family. the crazy medical bills they’re about to receive could be the final thing to break them even more. I don’t have an issue with her posting the pic of one of her sons touching Crew and probably saying goodbye. I’ve seen a mom who lost her daughter in the spring post videos of her children hugging and kissing the bag of ashes which I find very off, but tragedy and grief of losing a child doesn’t always allow for a clear mind. I’m just praying that Brittani doesn’t spend the rest of her life blaming herself for this. My heart is shattered for her.

It doesn’t matter who donated and who didn’t. It doesn’t matter who shared the GFM page followed by a swipe up and who didn’t. They now have over $60,000 raised in less than 48 hours and the creator of the GFM continues to raise the goal. That doesn’t happen to people all the time during the loss or tragedy and that’s something to be thankful for regardless of who contributed to that amount and that should be the focus. Nothing else should matter. I’m done with this particular conversation.
I personally think a lot of her friends just venmo her or even send a check so NO FEES are taken out. If I personally knew her I would never want a dime taken out for fees when I could paypal her the money as a gift . So people need to quit assuming that if they don't see a name on her go fund me (which takes out a lot of money for fees) that they didn't give to her.
and I agree with a post above NO ONE needs to nit pick them about anything. Im sure they are out of their minds right now. That poor girl prob barely knows her name
