First, I want to thank each and every one of you who have reached out, prayed, and supported us during this incredibly difficult time. I apologize if I haven’t been able to respond—I’ve been completely exhausted and focused on my babies, but I wanted to share an update here.

Both of my twin babies, Victoria and Angel, remain hospitalized with RSV, requiring oxygen support. Victoria was admitted earlier this week due to low oxygen levels and continues to struggle with her breathing. She’s stable but still needs oxygen support to keep her levels up. Angel, her twin brother, has been making progress, coming off high-flow oxygen, but he still requires support and faces challenges with feeding. Because of complications with NG tubes, I’ve chosen to feed him hourly, which has been incredibly demanding.

Right now, I’m constantly going between their rooms, trying to be present for both of them while also balancing the needs of my two older daughters, who are thankfully being cared for by family. I’m beyond grateful for my support system, but this has been one of the hardest times of my life.

Doctors have discussed the possibility of sending the twins home on oxygen, but that would make returning to work nearly impossible, as their daycare cannot accept babies on oxygen support. As the sole provider for my four children, I’m facing an overwhelming financial burden. Between hospital stays, medical needs, and the reality that I may not be able to return to work right away, I need help to make it through this time.

I am humbly asking for any support—whether through donations, prayers, or simply sharing this fundraiser. Every little bit helps to ensure I can continue to be there for my babies without the added stress of financial strain.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for your kindness, generosity, and prayers. I am truly grateful for this village.

With love and gratitude,

Rosa
