Support Adriana Smith's family - if GA won't pay, we will.

I am starting this GoFundMe to support the family of Adriana Smith -- a woman who was pronounced legally dead three months ago, but whom the state of Georgia is forcibly keeping alive, because she was 9 weeks pregnant when she died.

I am distraught by this story.

Adriana Smith was declared brain dead -- and thus legally dead -- in February. But because of the heartbeat bill in the state of Georgia, the family is being forced to keep their brain-dead daughter on life support so that she can deliver a baby to term.

She is now 21 weeks pregnant and the earliest doctors will deliver the baby is 32 weeks. Doctors have also told the family the baby has fluid on his brain and they're concerned about his health. Still, because of the gray area of the law, the family has no choice but to keep her on life support.

While they wait for the baby to be born, the grieving family is being forced to foot the freaking bill to keep their daughter on life support.

Speaking from experience, grief is tough enough without government involvement. The fact they have to suffer through this for several more weeks is unconscionable. Heartless.

While we can't change the law today, I want to help alleviate some of the financial stress and burden for the family, and help them find a sliver of light in this horrific darkness.

I'm just a concerned bystander, so, if you have any possible way to contact the family, please let me know, as I want to link the fundraiser to them directly. At the moment, I have set it up as a charitable gift, with the proceeds clearly designated for the family.

Thank you for your concern and for supporting this family during this traumatic time.
