Twenty-two weeks into my pregnancy, I was admitted into the hospital because my first born daughter was on her way. I was transported to another hospital with a equipped NICU in the event I delivered early. A few days later I had reached 23 weeks and I delivered a 14oz daughter, Jaela. I walk and support March of Dimes for all of the babies born prematurely and to bring awareness to premature births. Today, Jaela is a beautiful, healthy young lady. She is currently pursuing a nursing degree and wants to become a NICU nurse.
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.
Thanks for your support!!!!
Shenita and Jaela
With preterm birth rates continuing to rise, the U.S. remains among the most dangerous developed nations for childbirth, especially for women and babies of color.
At March for Babies: A Mother of a Movement™ you're lifting up communities, creating connections and taking action to make America a more equitable place and ensure that every mom and baby is healthy.
Together, we’re marching to raise funds and awareness to transform the health of all families!
