On February 1st at 7:00 pm, Jacquelyn & Andrew
suffered the loss of their newborn baby girl,
Gemma Gianna Perpetua. In October, baby
Gemma was diagnosed with Trisomy 18, Edward’s Syndrome. As Jacquelyn’s pregnancy progressed,
she & Andrew showed great love and courage as
they prepared to welcome their precious and
beloved daughter. There were many unknowns,
but they lived their pro-life convictions and
demonstrated to countless people that every
human life is created by God and deserving of life. Gemma taught many people about the sanctity of
life through the example of her parents and
siblings. Over the last few months, Jacquelyn was hospitalized several times because of
complications with her pregnancy and to make
sure she & Gemma were safe & cared for. During
these hospitalizations, Andrew had to stay home
from work to care for their other children, and all
of his time off was without pay. He will have to
take more time off in the coming weeks. Now,
Andrew & Jacquelyn are faced with medical costs and funeral expenses to bury Gemma Gianna. Let’s help this beautiful family in their time of need.
They have been there for so many mothers, babies, and families in need for more than 25 years.
Now, they need our love and support.Any amount you choose to donate is appreciated. Please remember to lift the Smith family up to Our Lord during this time of grief and while Jacquelyn heals from an emergency c-section.
Gemma Gianna was born on January 31, 2020 and was born into eternal life on February 1, 2020.
