rpst LIF ***Support a fellow bride, and a great cause at the same time***
Donna, an 05 bride that I've become friendly with, found out she was pregnant while planning her wedding. She was able to move up her wedding, but unfortunately, had some complications with her pregnancy.
On 4/2/05, she gave birth to a sweet little premie angel, CJ. CJ lived 26 days, and poor Donna was only able to hold him for 5 minutes in those 26 days.
The story completely breaks my heart, and Donna is one of the strongest people I've ever met.
Another former bride and active LIFamilies poster (MrsERod - Christina) has taken it upon herself to participate in the March of Dimes Walk America in CJ's honor. The March of Dimes supports babies. Christina is an amazing, amazing person.
Its a wonderful charity, and the website makes donating verrrry easy. CC, paypal, you name it. I know we're all brides, and we have little to no money, but you can give whatever you can - whether its $1, $5, $20, etc. Some companies even match donations.
I've donated....I know my money can't change things that have happened in the past, but I'd give endlessly if it meant CJ could be back in Donna's arms. I hope my donation makes it possible for another premie to survive.
