Help Ariana & Kelvin grow their family after loss

We would like to introduce Ariana Pierce Polanco and her husband, Kelvin Polanco. Ariana and Kelvin will soon begin pursuing surrogacy after experiencing the devastating loss of their son, Gabriel Manuel Polanco.

A Tragic Baby Story...

During a routine visit to their mid-wife at 36 weeks, Newlyweds, Ariana and Kelvin got the most devastating news… their precious child, Baby P’s, heartbeat could not be found. Until this moment, they had a fairly healthy pregnancy, only noted by intense swelling in her ankles, face and legs during the last month. During this tragic visit with her midwife, her blood pressure had skyrocketed, and sadly the baby’s heartbeat was not detected. She was rushed to the hospital for a more intricate inspection, but the doctors only confirmed their worst nightmare…Baby P was no longer here, but resting in the arms of God.

Ariana was then induced to deliver her precious baby boy, Gabriel Manuel Polanco, whom they would not be taking home with them. Their beloved baby boy was birthed with a head full of gorgeous locks, the most stunning eyes and was absolutely beautiful. Although he passed away unexpectedly, he will always be a treasure in our hearts. 

Complications with her pregnancy were due to Preeclampsia. Preeclampsia happens when a woman who previously had normal blood pressure suddenly develops high blood pressure and protein in her urine or other problems after 20 weeks of pregnancy. Because of how fast things escalated with her first pregnancy, Ariana’s medical professionals are strongly suggesting that she seek other fertility options in the future.

As a social media influencer, Ariana often kept us updated on the growth and process of preparing for their beloved son, Baby Gabriel, also known as Baby P, throughout her pregnancy. He was our baby too! As members of her community, we mourn this loss with her, Kelvin and their family.

Hope For The Future...

Now that they have laid Baby Gabriel to rest, they are slowly picking up the pieces and working on moving forward. After such an unimaginable heartbreak in their first year of marriage, they have begun a very personal and intimate process of healing while remaining graciously hopeful for their future as parents.

Baby P is embedded in our hearts and minds and we want to help the Polancos in any way we can to heal from this tragedy and grow their family.

Therefore, we decided to launch this giving campaign to support this very special young couple to achieve their dream of growing a family.

Due to health risks and the advice of their medical professionals, they have decided to start the journey towards surrogacy. This is a very expensive endeavor, which includes multiple rounds of IVF Therapy for both Ariana and the Surrogate and signing with the appropriate Surrogacy agency that is aligned with their goals. There is a lot of ongoing effort and expenses that go into surrogacy, not only the obvious burden placed on the gestational surrogate, but the countless hours of work by the surrogacy agency to ensure a successful match. In total, their surrogacy journey will be an estimated cost of about $250,000.

Some of the expenses include:

Ariana has dedicated her life to helping others live their dreams, now we as her supportive community would like to help make her and Kelvin’s dream of experiencing parenthood to the fullest. We want them to one day hear the sounds of little voices screaming Mama! Dada!

We are asking that you give in support of this cause and share this campaign with your audience. Any amount helps! Thank you for your time and consideration.

With love and faith we thank you!
