I recently lost my baby girl due to some pregnancy complications my wife was having. We are struggling financially from that incident. Is anyone selling a used sluice? I don't have the money to buy a new one and craigslist has failed me once again. Im looking to trade something or maybe buy with cash (if I can mail it). Id make one myself but I don't have the skills, time, or materials for that matter. Just looking to hit the creeks to get my mind out of this funk.

Thank you all for the generosity and kindness you've shown. I wasn't posting a sob story, just explaining some difficulties going on in my life.

On late February my wife had her 28 week check up to see how baby was growing and find out the sex. Everything was great! Good movement, great size, and healthy heart beat. It was a girl! We named her Joanna Faith. 4 weeks later my wife had her 32 week checkup. She hadn't felt the baby move all day and was anxious about the appointment. The nurse couldn't find a heart beat. Thinking the worst she sent us to the ultrasound tech. Our worst fears were confirmed. No movement, no heart beat. Later that night after being induced we delivered our stillborn daughter Joanna faith Akers. She was 16 inches long and weighed 5.5lbs

It has been a rough few months. No parent should have to bury their child.

Thank you all for your support, even to a total stranger. It means more than you could ever know.

Take comfort knowing that Joanna Faith is looking down on you and your wife framed by a set of beautiful white wings. And I bet she is smiling.

Stay strong.

I wish I could help in the sluice department but I know the good people here on this forum will come through with true generosity.

I truly wish I could remove your burden of life but, rest assured, it will get better.....and I hope soon for you and your wife.
My 1st wife and I had full term stillborn twin girls 30 years ago and I truly have great sympathy for the feelings you are experiencing. Have faith and the world will turn again. Stay busy my friend and try to find things that make you happy.

Mike
