In Memory of Dean Mateo Bollinger: Support Needed

On May 18th, 2025, I gave birth to a stillborn baby at 40 weeks. My little baby boy's name is Dean Mateo Bollinger.

We lost him during my contractions on the 17th while heading to the hospital. When we got there, the doctor checked for my baby's heartbeat and they couldn't detect any movement. We felt so beyond heartbroken. I went through the whole birthing process, and once I gave birth to him, we found that he had died with his umbilical cord around his throat. It was so tight that they couldn't get the clamps around it.

After I gave birth, my health declined very fast since Chorioamnionitis set in, a serious condition in pregnancy when the membranes that surround the fetus and the amniotic fluid are infected by bacteria. My heart rate rapidly increased to 138 with a really high fever of 102.8. Along with my bladder almost rupturing, the nurse did an emergency catheter. The first round was 1000 ml, and the second time within minutes was 800 ml. The catheter stayed in for 12 hours. Once they took it out, I was able to go normally.

I wish I could bring my baby boy home... we had so many plans for him. We wanted to see him grow up...

We would love to get help with the funeral/memorial costs along with help with medical care; anything helps.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for any donations given.
