Support premature twins and parents
Donation protected
On February 24th, my brother and sister-in-law, Michael and Jasmine, drove from their home in Yuba City to Roseville for a routine ultrasound to check on the development of their twin boys, Max and Mason. During their visit, they were shocked to find that Jasmine was already 5 cm dilated at only 24 weeks pregnant. Hours later, her water broke and she was admitted to the hospital. The doctors were able to seal the bag so that the babies could remain in the womb longer. Jasmine was put on bedrest in the hospital, unable to leave until after delivering the babies. Already faced with one suddenly lost income as Jasmine started her maternity leave, Michael had to take leave from his job as well because of the possibility of Jasmine going into labor at any given time.
After eleven days of sleeping and spending their days in that hospital room, Jasmine's contractions worsened and she was prepared for c-section. On March 6th, at 26 weeks pregnant, they welcomed babies Max and Mason into the world. Weighing in at 1lb-14oz and 2lb-2oz, Michael and Jasmine knew they were in for a tough and emotional journey before they could take their baby boys home.
With the help of close friends and family, they have been able to purchase a few essentials for the twins, but they are not nearly as prepared as they need to be. They were also able to obtain a trailer that they could park near the hospital and live in to be near the babies for the 9-12(or more) weeks they will be in the NICU.
Michael is headed back to work this week. However, with the 3 weeks he had to take off and the sudden loss of Jasmine's income 2+ months prior to her expected maternity leave, their savings are depleted and they are starting to struggle financially.
This is where any donations would be helpful and greatly appreciated. This page is being set up as a replacement to the baby shower that they didn't get to have. They have a registry at Target. Any monetary donations or baby shower gifts would be a huge help to support Michael, Jasmine, Max, and Mason.
