"This is with extreme sadness and an extremely heavy heart that our family is even needing to reach out, so we can help properly bury two precious innocent children. As a family, we were completely blindsided and are still in shock this is even happening," the GoFundMe description reads. 

The fundraiser is seeking $30,000 to fund the unexpected funeral expenses and other costs that the children's father, Thomas Evans Sr., and their family will incur while dealing with this unexpected tragic loss. 

The organizer of the fundraiser asked people to be in prayer for the entire family's healing and strength. 

"May May and Mace Mace, you will always hold a special place in all our hearts. You were treasured and loved more than you know. Our hearts are torn into a million pieces," the fundraiser information reads. 

Services and arrangements remain pending at this time.
