At 40 weeks pregnant, my cousin Mariana went into labor full of hope and excitement for her baby. She was already 7 centimeters dilated when her uterus suddenly ruptured — a rare and life-threatening emergency. She lost a massive amount of blood, doctors fought desperately to save her life, and tragically, her baby did not survive. The pain of losing her child has been devastating. Now she faces a long, difficult physical and emotional recovery while still healing from major trauma and surgery.

Every day in the hospital brings more bills, and in Mexico, hospitals require full payment before they will discharge a patient. Without help, the mounting medical expenses are overwhelming her family and could delay her healing at the worst possible time. We are raising funds so she can focus on recovering her strength and finding peace after this unimaginable loss — not on worrying about how to pay the hospital. Every single dollar will go directly toward her medical bills, hospital stay, medications, and the care she needs to get home safely.

Your kindness, no matter how small, will ease an enormous burden and bring real hope back to her and her family during this heartbreaking time. We are forever grateful for every prayer, share, and donation. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for standing with us.
