Good evening, family and friends,

With heavy hearts, we share the devastating news that on Tuesday, February 18th, we had to say goodbye to our precious 10inch, 8.4oz baby girl, Estela. I was induced to deliver her stillborn, and our hearts are absolutely broken as we navigate this unexpected loss.

We are deeply grateful to our family and close friends who have been checking in on us during this incredibly difficult time. I thank God for blessing me with the time I had to carry her, for allowing me to be her mother, and for giving me the chance to speak to her and tell her how much we love her.

As we grieve, we ask for your prayers to help us find peace. We also hope to give Estela a proper memorial service in the coming weeks to honor her and allow our loved ones to give her a celestial goodbye. However, we were not emotionally or financially prepared for this hardship. The costs of her cremation, my hospital stay, and the recommended genetic testing have placed an unexpected financial burden on us.

If you feel moved to help, we have set up a GoFundMe (link) and are also accepting donations through:

Your love, thoughts, and prayers mean the world to us. Thank you for your support during this incredibly painful time.
