Family and friends, you have poured so much love and support over us the past several months as we learned about Annie's condition and prayed every day to meet her alive. She beat so many of the odds and fought so hard to make it to birth. We are so proud of her.

When she passed, we had no idea what to expect. We were so hopeful of her making it to birth, we didn't spend time or energy on the "what if she doesn't make it" questions.

We are forever grateful to the hospital and the team who took the most delicate and loving care of us. The infant bereavement program provides that loving touch to families going through the unthinkable. From helping us select a funeral home to providing keepsake items and taking pictures, we would have been lost without them and their support.

Even now, a few months after Annies's birth, the monthly support group has been an incredible support system as we navigate our grief.  

Please help us support Dignity Health Chandler Regional and Mercy Gilbert Medical Center's infant bereavement programs by making a contribution to our fundraiser and sharing this page with your family and friends. Every dollar raised will help provide comfort, healing and guidance to bereaved families in the East Valley communities as they navigate their grief journey by bridging the gap from hospital to home. If you'd like to join us and get involved, please let me know!

Together, we can make a difference!

Much Love, the Leadingham Family
