Olivia Leedham, the ex-girlfriend of David Eason, is mourning the unexpected loss of her seven-year-old daughter, Lailah Price. The heartbreaking news was shared by a friend through a GoFundMe campaign established to assist Leedham and her 10-year-old son, Kaden, with living expenses during this challenging time.
According to the GoFundMe description, Lailah had faced numerous trips to the emergency room without a clear diagnosis before her tragic passing following a seizure at the hospital on June 7th. The statement adds, “Olivia is a single mom to Kaden and Lailah. Lailah was a bright light in our family and loved life and Jesus very much.”
Reports confirm that Leedham holds sole custody of Kaden after a custody battle in 2019. Meanwhile, Eason, who married Teen Mom alum Jenelle Evans in 2017, has faced significant personal challenges over the years, including a tumultuous relationship with the law and custody issues. Evans, who recently confirmed her separation from Eason, experienced a series of difficulties surrounding their parenting arrangements, notably losing custody of her children after a controversy involving a family pet.
The loss of a child is an unimaginable tragedy that many families face, and in this difficult time, the community has rallied around Leedham to offer support. This outpouring of love from friends and strangers alike offers a glimmer of hope in a time filled with sorrow.
In light of this tragic event, it serves as a reminder of the fragility of life and the importance of community support during times of loss.
