Kara Keough Bosworth is paying tribute to her son McCoy Casey, who died earlier this month.
Kara, who is the daughter of Real Housewives of Orange County star Jeana Keough, started a GoFundMe campaign on Tuesday in hopes of raising money for charity in honor of her late baby boy.
Titled “McCoy’s Warriors,” the fundraiser will benefit March of Dimes, a nonprofit organization focused on improving the health of mothers and babies, according to a description on the page.
“On April 6th, McCoy Casey Bosworth was born at 3:10am. Weighing in at 11 lbs 4oz and spanning 21 inches, McCoy surprised us all with his size, strength and overal perfection. During the course of his birth, he experienced shoulder dystocia and a compressed umbilical cord,” Kara — who shares 4-year-old daughter Decker Kate with husband Kyle Bosworth, 33 — wrote. “He joined our Heavenly Father and will live forever in the hearts of his loving parents, his adoring sister, and those that his life saving gifts.”

“Until we see you again…We love you, McCoy,” she continued, before signing the note: “Love, Kyle, Kara & Decker.”
According to the page, any funds raised will go towards “supporting moms and babies” by “helping encourage birth equity among all races, and from all socioeconomic backgrounds,” “offering full-term loss support to parents” and “supporting NICU parents during and after hospital stays.”
In just nine hours of its inception, the GoFundMe has raised $6,890 out of its $50,000 goal.
Kara revealed on Instagram last week that McCoy had died after experiencing complications during the course of his birth on April 6, sharing that she was donating her son’s organs.
Reciting the words she wrote for the organ and tissue procurement team to read out in McCoy’s honor, she wrote, “Tonight, we join together to honor this little savior’s gifts of life. Through him, may others find new hope and profound healing… and may he live again through them. May his legacy shine in the form of lifetimes aplenty – lives filled with laughter, compassion, energy, love, and most of all gratitude. May it be said that McCoy Casey Bosworth left this world in a better place, for a better place…. that he made an impact… that he was an answered prayer… that he was a hero.”

A woman giving birth to a child has pain because her time has come; but when her baby is born she forgets the anguish because of her joy that a child is born into the world. So with you: Now is your time of grief, but I will see you again and you will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy.” John 16:20 Until we see you again… We love you, McCoy.A post shared by Kara Bosworth (@karakeoughboz) on Apr 14, 2020 at 9:17am PDT
