Hello, my is Corrine and I am raising money to help my youngest sister Alana and her husband Matthew during this time of struggle to hopefully ease their stress and worry.

Alana is 25 weeks pregnant with her first little peanut and a few weeks ago she was diagnosed with IUGR (intrauterine growth restriction) A condition in which a baby doesn't grow to normal weight during pregnancy.

Causes of intrauterine growth restriction vary but include placenta abnormalities.

With this condition, a baby is born weighing less than 90 percent of other babies at the same gestational age.

with The umbilical artery Doppler waveform abnormal with intermittently absent end diastolic flow.

This last Friday she was admitted to the hospital until the doctors can safely get her as close to 34 weeks as possible to delivery.

During this time Alana cannot work and will be out of work for the next 26 weeks. This definitely puts stress on her and Matthew financially. They have to worry about rent, utilities, and medical bills to come, as well as a baby they have only begun getting ready for.

I'm hoping we can all come together to lessen this burden and stress on them. Especially when it's unimaginable the heavy heart they both must feel. Please donate if possible, but if not they could use as many offered up prayers as possible.

For those who would rather donate directly to them rather than go this route. Here is my venmo info. https://venmo.com/u/Corrine-Crespo
