Help save babies with Owlet monitor
Donation protected
My name is Leah Gallahorn. I am the grieving mother of a precious baby girl Aquene(means peace). 2 months ago Aquene died in her sleep at just 2 months old on New Years Eve. The photo above is the last photo I took of her.
When I lost Aquene I immediately begged to be taken in her place, just holding on to some small miracle that the doctors could save her and she would grow old, live her life. That was not the case. And I am still here. Since then I have cried, screamed, begged, asked why. I struggled with these emotions for about a month before I saw it.
It was an advertisement on Facebook for the Owlet baby monitor. I clicked on the link and read all about it. I knew then that it would have saved Aquene's life. I was angry. Why didn't I have one? Why hadn't I heard of this? Why wouldn't the hospital tell parents about this? Everyone needs to have one I thought. And then it began to weigh heavy on me. I would see photos of friends, family, strangers expecting a child or just had a baby wondering if they had heard of this life saving technology. I have since been trying to raise money to get one for every expecting family that I hear of. It's become an obsession really. I have exhausted most donations from immediate friends and family and thought how will I get them? I decided to turn to gofundme as I've put a lot of money into it personally and know I can't spend every penny I have on this. I am asking for help. Help to buy these baby monitors. Help to give parents peace of mind. Most importantly, help to save lives.
I hope you can donate anything at all, share this post and help me to raise more money to buy these monitors. $1200 will buy 4 monitors and it's a start.
