Becoming a mom showed me firsthand how critical support is for moms and babies, especially those most at risk.
My journey became personal when I had my baby, Calixto, at just 34 weeks. I experienced a high-risk emergency C-section and was left with so many questions, fears, and uncertainties. Having him in the NICU for almost a month was incredibly overwhelming—I spent countless hours praying, hoping, and learning how to navigate each day while scared for his health. I was blessed that Calixto grew strong and was eventually able to graduate from the NICU.
With preterm birth and maternal death rates continuing to rise, I’m committed to raising funds so that every family can get the best possible start and support during these critical moments. But I can’t do it alone—I need your help.
