**Update as of May 16, 2026**

Hi Team Drea,

Yesterday morning, May 15th, 2026, Andrea's spirit moved on from her body. I believe she graduated from being an Earth Angel to being a Spirit Angel.

In light of this devastating news, I am re-launching this campaign to be one for Daniella's future: think child care, school, clothing, food - whatever Bobby will need to help him focus more on loving and supporting Daniella and less on stressing about money.

Y'all showed up in a massive, life-changing way back in February when Daniella was born. Now, you're needed even more.

I will post Andrea's obituary here when it is published. For now, please pray, cry - do whatever you need to do to honor Andrea, who lived larger and spread more Love than most people we will ever know in this lifetime.

And please donate and share this page for Daniella.

I am here in solidarity with all the broken-hearted warriors on Drea's team. If you love Andrea, I love you.

With Peace and Love,

Christine

At 36 weeks pregnant, Andrea experienced an aortic rupture. She had to have an emergency c-section followed immediately by open-heart surgery. The road to recovery for Drea is a long one, and her family is facing an incredibly challenging time as they adjust to life with their new baby while supporting Andrea’s healing journey.

The funds raised will help Andrea, her husband Robert (Bobby), and their baby cover medical bills, regular monthly expenses, and daily needs like food and care for their baby and dog. With both parents needing to take time off work, their income will be impacted, making this support even more crucial. Every contribution will help ease their financial burden so they can focus on Andrea’s recovery and caring for their newborn.

Andrea has spent her entire life beating the odds and taking care of others. She is the ultimate caregiver, and now she needs us to take care of her. Drea and Bobby spent years trying to get pregnant, so we need her to get healthy and strong so she can finally get to be the mom she has always wanted to be to her beautiful and miraculous daughter. Please consider helping this wonderful family as they navigate this difficult time. Your kindness and support will mean the world to them.
