Donation protected
Jaleesa’s sister Samantha and her family were on their way to South Carolina for a much-needed vacation when the unthinkable happened. While traveling, her sister—pregnant with twins—suddenly went into labor. With no time to spare, they rushed to the nearest hospital in Virginia. There, her sister delivered her baby boy herself in a wheelchair, waiting for doctors to assist. Soon after, she was taken for an emergency C-section to deliver her baby girl she got to hear her princess cry one time before she was put to sleep by the medication . The next morning when she asked the doctors to see her babies they told her The babies were transferred to another hospital an hour away, but heartbreakingly, her sister wasn’t told anything . That evening, she received the devastating news that her baby girl had passed away. The family is left with so many questions and unimaginable grief, especially since there were no complications during her pregnancy in Rochester, New York. Now, her baby boy remains in the NICU far from home, and her sister is struggling with her own health, including complications from anemia. The family is desperate to bring their nephew home and give their niece a proper burial or cremation in Rochester. The costs of travel, medical care, and funeral arrangements are overwhelming, and her sister’s health is fragile as she tries to recover from this trauma. Jaleesa and her family are reaching out for help during this heartbreaking time. Any support, resources, or kindness—no matter how small—will make a difference. They are deeply grateful to anyone who can help or share their story. Thank you for standing with them as they try to heal and bring their loved ones home.
