Jesse Ross was born on February 16th, 2021 at 26 weeks 2 days, weighing 1 lb. 5 oz. and 12" long. After 291 days in the hospital, Jesse is now at home where he belongs - at a remarkable 25 lbs and 35" long. Jesse has Chronic Lung Disease and is on a ventilator and has a trach and g-tube. He is a true fighter - the bravest, strongest, smiliest little boy, who continues to amaze us all every day. He is thriving at home, and while he fortunately won't remember any of this, the 10-month NICU journey is something we will never forget.
My sister also had two preterm labors. She lost a son at 25 weeks, and then had another son at 30 weeks, all in 2016. For 5 years our family has donated to this amazing cause, and now with Jesse in the mix, March for Babies hits closer to home than ever.
With preterm birth and maternal death rates continuing to rise, we’re committed to raising funds so that every family gets the best possible start. And you can help us.
Please visit our 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.
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!
