On 3/7/17 my daughter Jenna and her husband Steve welcomed their first baby into the world. Domenico James was born 12 and a half weeks early but was doing great for the first twelve days. On Sunday 3/19 he came down with a bowel infection called Necrotizing Enterocolitis (NEC). After a tough two day battle we lost our sweet baby Dom. We're so proud of the way he fought and we're so grateful for the two weeks we had with him. We love him so much and our little angel will always be with us. Thank you to everyone for all the thoughts, prayers and support. We'd especially like to thank the NICUs and Lankenau and CHOP for doing everything they could to save our beautiful boy.
Right now, babies need all the help they can get. Premature birth affects about 380,000 babies here in the United States. I’m walking in March for Babies to get the message out about this terrible problem and you can help. Please make a secure donation to help me reach my goal. Together we can help the March of Dimes fight prematurity so more babies can get the strongest start possible.
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!
