Dedicated to bringing hope and encouragement to OI infants and their parents. (OI) We were told she would most likely not survive childbirth. Thank you!
Our precious baby girl, Zayana Grace, was born with a condition called Osteogenesis Imperfecta. She defied the odds and lived a beautiful 16 weeks. She was full of love, bringing a smile to the face of all who knew her. When she was born, we were overwhelmed by her condition and felt very alone. Later, we discovered that there is a wonderful, strong OI community and many resources available. In he

10 days left!! We still have many needs, so it's not to late to jump on board! Biggest ways to help:
1. Donate toward the parent blessing bags. At this point we have nothing, so every bit helps. Our PayPal is [email protected]
2. We still only have 1 Mamaroo chair and the goal is 5. This will be the first year we haven't met our goal.
3. There are still many items from the wishlist to be purchased.
Thanks again for your support!

Exactly two weeks from today, on Zayana's birthday, we will be doing our donation drop off to the NICU. Once again, we are humbled by your outpouring of support. The biggest ways to still help are:
1. Waiting room activities for siblings (ideas are on our wishlist)
2. Gifts for the nurses (lip balms, hand lotions, baked goods, fruit arrangements, etc...)
3. Money toward gift cards to the hospital cafe
4. Acorn ornaments for parents
5. Crib soothers (on wishlist)
6. If someone is feeling extremely generous, there is a high ticket item that was requested (a specialized breastfeeding scale). It's a long shot, but just throwing it out there!
This is the final push!
The Event Page for Zayana's NICU Donation Drive is up! Be sure to check out the "About" section to see ways you can get involved.

Ways to get involved in Z's 3rd NICU Donation Drive:
1. Visit our Amazon Wish List and have Amazon do all the work (-: You can choose to have the items sent directly to our address. We asked the NICU what their greatest need is, and they specially mentioned the Mamaroo chairs. They are spendy, but it's a great opportunity to go in together with
family, friends or co-workers and sponsor one. The wish list is smaller this year in order to focus on this chair, which is a huge hit with the precious little babies in the NICU.

You can also find the Mamaroo chairs online at Target and Babies R Us.
2. Donate to our PayPal account using the email address: [email protected] and we'll do all the work (-: Or, you can send us a personal donation. If you choose to go this route, checks can be made in Christina or Ernesto's name. Keep in mind donations made this way will not be tax deductible.
