My wife started to bleed heavily when she was only 25 weeks pregnant. Doctors told her that she was going to lose the baby. 
And finally, My wife gave birth to Taylor at 25  weeks. Our beautiful baby girl was here.

Tiny Taylor stayed at the hospital for 6 months. Taylor came home and had many respiratory problems. She had trouble breathing and needed to be rushed to the hospital almost every month. That was the hardest time. I also found out my daughter is deaf at 3 years old. Also, received a bill of 3.5 million from the NICU. March Dimes help us find resources to pay for the entire bill except $650.00

From Taylor's first minutes outside in the world to the scary moments she spent getting urgent medical care, you've made a big difference for Taylor, My wife, and so many other moms and babies across the country.

Thanks to caring people like you, March of Dimes can help provide:

• Support for families who are in the NICU right now;
• Access to information and education for moms and families;
• Training for medical staff who treat moms like Chelsie during pregnancy, and help premature babies like Sara once they're born;
• Research for new treatments that can prevent premature births.

Through every stage of pregnancy, every step of the NICU, and the challenges of being born prematurely, the March of Dimes community is there with our full support for moms and babies. You help parents feel less alone and more empowered. You're there to cheer for babies getting stronger every day.
