Hello friends and family!
As many of you know Ayven and I went thru a very traumatic delivery and birth. Ayven arrived via emergency c-section while I was intubated and sedated in a medically induced coma. Ayven was in respiratory arrest for approx 30min before going into full cardiac arrest. He required 5min of CPR before coming back. Ayven was immediately transported to Cardinal Glennon where he underwent a cooling process and received extra care for almost 4 weeks. I did not meet my son until he was 5 days old. Due to the lack of oxygen and injury to his brain, he was diagnosed with Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy or HIE. This condition will affect him for the rest of his life.

I joined the movement to create positive change for moms and babies everywhere, especially those most at risk.
With preterm birth and maternal death rates continuing to rise, I’m committed to raising funds so that every family gets the best possible start. But I need your help.
Please visit my fundraising page to make a donation. Together we’ll be part of a movement to make America a more equitable place and ensure that every mom and baby is healthy.
March of Dimes is dedicated to bringing people together to tackle America's maternal and infant health crisis—one person, one community, and one step at a time. More than a series of walks, March for Babies is an annual tradition that supports moms and babies every day, every step of the way.
March for Babies connects friends, families, and coworkers to improve the health of families nationwide. Together with March of Dimes, each step forward brings us closer to a healthy future for all.
Thank you for your support!
