AceShowbiz - Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively have shown support for sufferers of stillbirth. The celebrity couple contributed to a fundraising page set up by football player Jordan Davies' partner Kelsey Edwards after she and the Wrexham A.F.C player suffered a stillbirth last month.

The "Deadpool" actor, who co-owns the soccer club alongside Rob McElhenney, and Blake reportedly donated $11,000 to Jordan and Kelsey's GoFundMe page. Also joining in the generous act was Rob and his wife Kaitlin Olson.

Jordan and Kelsey created the fund page following their tragic loss of their son, who was delivered in a stillbirth in mid-December. The said page is in support of Sands UK, which according to the organization website, is the leading stillbirth and neonatal death charity in the United Kingdom.

The couple explained in the description on the fundraising website that they are "raising money in aid of Sands (Stillbirth & Neonatal Death Society) and every donation will help." They went on to add, "Our baby boy, Arthur Andrew Davies was born sleeping on the 14th December 2021. The support we received during this time was amazing. The butterfly suite at the Wrexham Maelor is available exclusively for grieving families and is funded by Sands UK."

"The suite is away from the labor ward and provided accommodation with a kitchen, lounge, bedroom and bathroom to make the circumstances as nice as possible," the statement also read. "The midwives provided around the clock care and made sure we were comfortable and they really couldn't do enough for us."

"We were given the time we needed with our boy and were supported throughout," the statement continued. "They also provided us with a memory box with things to cherish forever! Sands support anyone affected by the death of a baby, works in partnership with health professionals to try to ensure that bereaved parents and families receive the best possible care and funds research that could help to reduce the numbers of babies dying and families devastated by this tragedy."

As of now, the donation had surpassed its initial goal of $1,500, reaching over $16,000 in donations.
