Hi, I'm Stephanie, and I'm on a mission to bring joy and hope to moms facing challenging times in the Antepartum unit at UCSF Mission Bay Hospital.

In the fall of 2022, my journey through pregnancy took an unexpected turn. Around week 18 or 19, I received the heartbreaking news that my water had broken. This marked the beginning of a 77-day stay, encompassing Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's, in the Antepartum unit.

Any stay in Antepartum is undeniably difficult, but being there during the holidays made it exceptionally tough. Yet, amid the challenges, the love and support from my family and friends were my pillars of strength. Now, I want to pay it forward and be a source of support for other moms walking a similar path.

With your help, I aim to raise funds to make a difference in the lives of Antepartum moms. The funds will be used to purchase materials for crafts, provide home-cooked meals, and, if we dream big enough, offer patients the comfort of a prenatal massage.

How Your Support Will Make a Difference:

Craft Materials: Crafting can be therapeutic and uplifting. Your contribution will enable us to provide materials for creative projects, offering moms a positive outlet during their stay.

Home-Cooked Meals: A pro-longed hospital stay makes you realize how much you miss a meal around your own kitchen table. Your support will help us prepare and deliver comforting home-cooked meals to bring a taste of warmth and care to the Antepartum unit.

Prenatal Massages: Dreaming big means envisioning moments of relaxation and relief for moms in the Antepartum unit. Your generosity could help us provide prenatal massages, offering a soothing experience amidst the stress.

Join me in making a difference in the lives of these resilient moms. Your support, no matter the amount, will contribute to creating moments of joy and relief during their Antepartum journey.

Thank you for being a part of this meaningful cause.

Warmly,

Stephanie
