I have worked with mothers and newborns for my job as an L&D and Mother/Baby nurse in several community hospitals. I have helped many moms with preterm babies who ended up in the NICU. Having a newborn in the NICU affects the lives of everyone in the family, disrupting their routine. It is heartbreaking not to be able to take your newborn home with you when being discharged home and having an empty nursery/crib waiting for you. I wouldn't wish this on anyone.
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!
