Join Us in Supporting March of Dimes!

This year marks the 4th time our family and friends will be participating in the March of Dimes walk, a cause that is incredibly close to our hearts. We look forward to this event each year as we celebrate Olivia and all that she has overcome.

Olivia Grace Gamboa was born on December 16, 2020, at 4:36 PM, weighing just 1 pound 15 ounces. She spent 58 days in the NICU and finally came home at 4 pounds.

During her NICU stay, Olivia faced many challenges, including a stage 1 brain bleed (which thankfully resolved itself), daily blood tests, jaundice, and feeding difficulties. She received two years of physical therapy for strengthening, continues to see a GI specialist, and is currently in speech therapy.

Despite all the obstacles, our little warrior princess has shown incredible resilience. She is now catching up with her peers and thriving!

Olivia’s Favorite Things:
✨ Hobbies: Tumbling, swimming, Legos, singing, arts & crafts, and dance
✨ Favorite Movies: Frozen, Encanto, Moana, The Lego Movie, Trolls, and Shrek

Watching Olivia grow into a confident, happy toddler has been a true blessing. We are so proud of her strength and accomplishments!

March of Dimes holds a special place in my heart because it fights for moms and babies, especially those born too soon or facing complications. With preterm birth and maternal health challenges on the rise, I’m committed to raising funds to ensure that every family gets the best possible start.

If you’d like to support our team or donate to this important cause, please consider joining us or contributing. Every little bit helps make a difference!
