Jordan Alex Dubrow was born on July 5, 2011 at North Shore
University Hospital in Manhasset. An otherwise fully healthy, strong
baby boy, Jordan was diagnosed with a severe case of Meconium
Aspiration Syndrome. Joy quickly turned to great sorrow as Jordan
fought this serious condition, which caused blockage to his airways. Although Jordan received the best possible medical care and
displayed an incredible amount of fight, he lost his battle on the
morning of July 8, 2011. Jordan’s parents (Stacey and Josh), while shocked and devastated
by this sudden tragedy, developed a sincere admiration for all of the
doctors, nurses, and staff at the hospital NICU, and were especially
touched by their compassion and sensitivity both during and after
their stay in the hospital. Determined to help other babies survive, while creating a living legacy for Jordan, Stacey and Josh asked their family and friends to donate to the NICU in Jordan’s memory. Additionally, Josh’s CPA firm’s charitable foundation, The NYBKW Charitable Foundation, established this fund in Jordan’s name to raise money specifically for the NICU. Within weeks, both the Dubrow family and the hospital
were overwhelmed by the amount of donations received. After meeting with the hospital and Jordan’s NICU doctor, Stacey and Josh decided to dedicate their fundraising efforts to help the hospital purchase a brand new Blood Gas Measurement Machine for the NICU. This machine will allow for faster response times, allowing for quicker life-saving treatment of babies with breathing difficulties similar to Jordan’s case. With your much appreciated and needed help, we are working to ensure that The Jordan Alex Dubrow Fund will reach its initial fundraising goal to allow the hospital to purchase this life-saving machine. Any extra funds received will be put towards additional NICU life-saving purchases. We sincerely hope that our collective efforts will keep other parents from going through the tragedy we experienced,
and we thank you for your support with all our hearts. Please visit www.nybkw.com/jadfund.php tomake an on-line donation. All checks should be made payable to the NYBKW Charitable Foundation with JAD Fund in the memo and sent to the address above.
