Graciela Joy Luistro Bernal

Graciela Joy Luistro Bernal has challenged the world around her, born into this world at 24 weeks gestation on May 7th, 2018, surviving 7 surgeries thus far, 2 internal bleeding episodes and trying to grow everyday so we can take her home one day soon. (No set date at this time.)  Graciela continues to be a fighter every single day, and prayers from all of you have helped tremendously.

Medical bills are accumulating over 4 months and will probably continue to do so. I’ve organized the bills, studied them, cut the checks, stamped the envelopes, sent some out, but am in a holding pattern for most bills as our checking account does not have all the funding in place to quickly pay Gracie’s medical bills not to mention everyday expenses and emergency expenses that are so unexpected but happen.

Words cannot express how grateful we are for the love and support we’ve received on this journey, but if you have a few dollars to spare, we will spend a lifetime figuring how to pay your kindness forward.

With all our hearts, thank you for being part of our lives,


Gretchen, Javi & Gracie Baby
